Answer 2

Option D.

Explanation:

Borrowed $50 from your cousin. You pay him $8 and must pay him back within 12 weeks.

Let x be the amount paid on each week.

`50-8\leq 12x`

`50-12x\leq 8`

You can buy bags of pretzels in packages of 12. You $50 to spend, but want to have at least $8 left.

Let x be the amount of each package.

`50-12x\geq 8`

You owe your sister $50. You plan to pay her $12 a week till you owe her less than $8.

Let x be the amount paid on each week.

`50-12x<8`

You have $50 to spend on clothes, but you need to save at least $8 for bus fare. You plan to spend the rest on shirts that cost $12 each (including tax).

Let x be the number of shirts

`50-12x>8`

Therefore, the correct option is D.
