Question

A clothing store offers a free T-shirt when a customer spends $75 or more. Lyndon has already spent $36.95. Which statement best represents all of the amounts he can spend to get a free T-shirt? $34.05 or more $34.05 or less $38.05 or more $38.05 or less

Answer 1

$75 needed- $36.95 already spent =
$38.10 needed to spend $75 total

No: $34.10 or more
No: $34.05 or less
No: $38.05 or less
YES: $38.05 or more because you need a minimum of $38.10

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

C. $38.05 or more.

Explanation:

Let x be amount Lyndon should spent to get the free T-shirt.

We have been given that a clothing store offers a free T-shirt when a customer spends $75 or more. Lyndon has already spent $36.95.

This means that x plus 36.95 should be greater than or equal to 75. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

`x+36.95\geq75`

Let us solve for x by subtracting 36.95 from both sides of our inequality.

`x+36.95-36.95\geq75-36.95`

`x\geq38.05`

Therefore, Lyndon should spend $38.05 or more to get a free T-shirt and option C is the correct choice.
