Question

Write an inequality and use substitution to solve the following problem:

A couple is remodeling a room in their house. They have already purchased carpet for the room for $2,000. If their budget is a maximum of $5,100, determine which of the following costs they can afford for a furniture set.
Check all that are true.
$5,300


$3,400


$5,100


$3,050

$7,100

Answer 1

They already spent $2000, and they only had $5100

Subtract

5100 - 2000 = 3100

$3,050 is your answer, because it is the only one that is less than 3100

hope this helps
