1. **State the problem:** Jack starts with 450 in his savings account and wants to have at least 100 left after withdrawing 225 each week.
2. **Set up the inequality:** Let $w$ be the number of weeks Jack withdraws money. The amount left after $w$ weeks is given by:
$$450 - 225w \geq 100$$
3. **Solve the inequality:**
Subtract 100 from both sides:
$$450 - 225w - 100 \geq 0$$
Simplify:
$$350 - 225w \geq 0$$
4. **Isolate $w$:**
$$350 \geq 225w$$
Divide both sides by 225 (positive number, inequality direction stays the same):
$$\frac{350}{225} \geq w$$
Show cancellation:
$$\frac{\cancel{350}}{\cancel{225}} = \frac{14}{9} \geq w$$
5. **Interpret the result:**
Jack can withdraw money for at most $\frac{14}{9}$ weeks.
Since $w$ must be a whole number of weeks, Jack can withdraw money for 1 full week.
**Final answer:** Jack can withdraw money for 1 week and still have at least 100 left in his account.
