Question

40 Jenny is buying gifts for her family. So far she has spent $45,95, and she has one more gift to buy. She started with a total of $60 to spend on all of her gifts Write an inequality that shows how much she can spend on the final gift

Answer 1

Greetings!

Answer:

`x \leq 14.05`

Explanation:

First, to find the boundary we need to find the amount of money left, simply subtract the spent amount from the total:

60 - 45.95 = 14.05

Seeing as this is the amount, she can spend any amount up to and including 14.05, so we need an equal to or smaller than sign:

Let x be the value of the object:

`x \leq 14.05`

Which is the inequality!

Hope this helps!
