    Let any variable such as x represent the least amount of money that Malcolm needs to deposit. His balance from his checking account is $638.54. Subtract $159.50 from this amount.

    With the condition that he must maintain $500, the inequality becomes,

    (638.54 - 159.50) + x ≥ 500

    479.04 + x ≥ 500

    x ≥ 20.96
