Suppose you must maintain a balance of least $500 in your checking account in order to have free checking. The current balance in your checking account is $635.27. Which inequality describes how much can write a check for a and still have free checking?
A. 635.27>500-x
B. 500>x-635.27
C. 635.27-x>500
D. 635.27+x>500

To find the correct inequality, we need to determine the amount that can be written as a check while still maintaining a balance of at least $500 in the checking account.
Let's assume that the amount written as a check is x. According to the given information, the current balance in the checking account is $635.27.
To maintain a balance of at least $500, the inequality can be expressed as:
Current balance - Amount written as a check ≥ $500
Substituting the values, we get:
$635.27 - x ≥ $500
Simplifying the inequality, we have:
635.27 ≥ x + 500
Now, let's rearrange the inequality to have x on one side:
x + 500 ≤ 635.27
Since we want to find the maximum amount that can be written as a check, we need to isolate x. Subtracting 500 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
x ≤ 635.27 - 500
Simplifying further, we have:
x ≤ 135.27
Therefore, the correct inequality is:
B. 500 > x - 635.27
