Question

You have no more than $65 to spend after paying your bills. You want a drink that costs

$2.25 including tax, and you want to buy a pair of shoes, which will have 7% sales tax.
What is the inequality that represents the amount of money you have to spend?

a. x + 0.07x + 2.25 > 65
b. x + 0.07x + 2.25 ≤ 65
c. x + 0.07x + 2.25 < 65
d. x + 0.07x + 2.25 ≥ 65

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: You have no more than $65 which means you will want to spend equal to or less. Since you have $65, you will be able to spend up to that amount but you will not be able to spend any more than that. So, you will need to make sure the final price remains under or equal to your amount.
