Allyson Massey · Answer 1

He can withdraw $25 from his account for 22 weeks

Kallie Mack · Answer 2

Let w be the number of weeks. He withdraws $25 per week, so in w weeks, he withdraws 25w. He starts with $500, so after w weeks he has 500 - 25w. He wants this amount to be at least $200. "At least" means "greater than or equal to."

500 - 25w > = 200

-25w > = - 300

w < = 12

Answer: Keith can withdraw $25 per week for at most 12 weeks.
