Answer :

The inequality that would be used for the least amount of amount of money she needs to deposit to avoid a fee is x ≥ $20.96.

According to the question

The given parameters:

Initial amount of money in Malcom's account = $638.54

A constant balance to be maintained to avoid a fee = $500

Amount to be withdrawn today = $159.50

Inequality that would be used to solve for the LEAST amount of money he needed to deposit to avoid a fee

Let the amount she deposits be x, then the least amount of money she needs to deposit to avoid a fee is given by the inequality:

$638.54 - $159.50 + x ≥ $500

$479.04 + x ≥ $500

x ≥ $500 - $479.04

x ≥ $20.96

Thus, the inequality that would be used to solve for the LEAST amount of money he needed to deposit to avoid a fee is x ≥ $20.96.
