Question

You have an allowance of $15.00 per week. You are in a bowling league that costs $6.50 each week, and you save at least $5.00 each week. Write and solve an inequality to show how much you have left to spend each week.

Answer 1

15> or =to x+11.50

because 6.5+5=11

x represents what you have left and it can't be greater than but it can be equal to 15 spent (he could save more if he wanted to)

Answer 2

The money to spend each week is less than or equal $3.50.

Explanation:

Given: You have to save at least $5.00. Your bowling league costs $6.50 and you have $15.00 per week.

We need to find the amount that left to spend in the week.

Money left to spend ≤ Allowance - (Bowling + Savings)

≤ $15 - ($6.50 + $5.00)

≤ $15 - $11.50

≤ 3.50

So, the money to spend each week is less than or equal $3.50.
