Miles's Internet service provider lets him use up to 1,229 gigabytes of data in a month and charges him an additional fee if he goes over the data limit. If Miles already used 984 gigabytes of data this month, which of the following represents d, the amount of data, in gigabytes, he can use in the rest of the month without incurring an additional fee?Choose 1 answer:(A) d≤245(B) d≥245(C) d≤2,213(D) d≥2,213
Q. Miles's Internet service provider lets him use up to 1,229 gigabytes of data in a month and charges him an additional fee if he goes over the data limit. If Miles already used 984 gigabytes of data this month, which of the following represents d, the amount of data, in gigabytes, he can use in the rest of the month without incurring an additional fee?Choose 1 answer:(A) d≤245(B) d≥245(C) d≤2,213(D) d≥2,213
Identify data allowance and usage: Identify the total data allowance and the data already used.Miles has a total data allowance of 1,229 gigabytes for the month. He has already used 984 gigabytes.
Calculate remaining data allowance: Calculate the remaining data allowance.To find out how much data Miles can still use without an additional fee, subtract the amount of data already used from the total data allowance.Remaining data = Total data allowance − Data usedRemaining data =1,229 gigabytes −984 gigabytes
Perform subtraction for remaining data: Perform the subtraction to find the remaining data allowance.Remaining data = 1,229 gigabytes - 984 gigabytesRemaining data = 245 gigabytes
Write inequality for data usage: Write the inequality that represents the amount of data Miles can use without incurring an additional fee.Since Miles can use up to 245 gigabytes more without an additional fee, the inequality should indicate that the amount of data he can still use, d, is less than or equal to245 gigabytes.The correct inequality is d≤245.
