> $5 dollar less on dinner than James spent

> 3 more than twice as many ringtones as Mary

Are these expressions including a "greater than" sign,

or were you merely using the > to designate a place marker?

If the expressions are including greater than then:

"greater than $5 less on dinner than James spent"

Let D = amount you are looking to spend

Let J = amount James spent

D > J - 5

"greater than 3 more than twice as many ringtones as Mary"

Let R = number of ringtones you are looking for

Let M = number of Mary's ringtones

R > 2M + 3

does that help.
