5. Chris pays a fee if her bank balance falls below $10 on the statement

date. Prior to the statement date, her balance was - $3.46. Then, Chris made a deposit, d, in ample time, so she did not have to pay a fee.

a. Write an inequality to represent this situation.

d ≥ 13.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Chris has to pay low balance fee if her bank balance falls below $10.

Her balance was - $3.46 before the statement date.

Now, Chris has to deposit a minimum amount of $ (3.46 + 10) = $13.46 to her bank account and then only she does not need to pay a fee.

If the deposit amount is d, then the inequality to represent the situation is

d ≥ 13.46 (Answer)
