Question

jarod has budgeted at most $1250 for a vacation. He has already spent $439 on airfare. Write and solve an inequality to determine the amount of money left in Jarrod's budget.

Answer 1

Answer: The budget Jason has left is $811

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation: Subtract $1250 from $439. $1250 - $439 = $811

Answer 2

$439 + x ≤ $1250

x ≤ $811

Explanation:

Since Jarod can spend at most $1250 on his vacation, that means he must spend that amount or below, so when setting up the inequality the sum of his airfare and remaining money must not be higher than $1250 or ≤ $1250. Since the only thing Jarod has bought so far is airfare, his inequality is:

$439 + x ≤ $1250

Subtracting $439 from both sides: $439 + x - $439 ≤ $1250 - $439

Solve for 'x': x ≤ $811
