Answer

7 weeks\text{7 weeks}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Set up the inequality.

    Let B0B_0 be the initial bank balance, WW be the weekly withdrawal amount, and nn be the number of weeks. The balance after nn weeks is B0−n×WB_0 - n \times W. Anna wants to maintain a balance of at least Tshs 200,000.

    B0−n×W≥200,000B_0 - n \times W \ge 200,000

    Given:
    B0=Tshs 500,000B_0 = \text{Tshs } 500,000
    W=Tshs 40,000W = \text{Tshs } 40,000

    Substitute the values into the inequality:

    500,000−n×40,000≥200,000500,000 - n \times 40,000 \ge 200,000
  2. Isolate the term with nn.

    Subtract 500,000 from both sides:

    −n×40,000≥200,000−500,000-n \times 40,000 \ge 200,000 - 500,000 −n×40,000≥−300,000-n \times 40,000 \ge -300,000
  3. Solve for nn.

    Divide both sides by -40,000. Remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number:

    n≤−300,000−40,000n \le \frac{-300,000}{-40,000} n≤304n \le \frac{30}{4} n≤7.5n \le 7.5
  4. Interpret the result.

    Since nn represents the number of weeks, it must be a whole number. Anna can withdraw money for a maximum of 7 full weeks while maintaining a balance of at least Tshs 200,000. If she withdraws for 8 weeks, her balance will fall below Tshs 200,000.

    The maximum number of weeks she can withdraw money is 7 weeks\text{7 weeks}.
