Question

Henry charged $847 to his credit card. The cost of his next purchase caused him to go over his credit limit of $1000. If c = the cost in dollars of Henry's next purchase, which mathematical sentence expresses the information above? A. 847 + c < 1000 B. 847 + c > 1000 C. 847 - c > 1000 D. 847 - c < 1000

Answer 1

so, he went over 1000, 847+c>1000
because the next purchase made him go over 1000, so they both should be greater then 1000.
so b.

Answer 2

The answer is B. 847 + c > 1000.

His current balance plus the cost of his next purchase has to be greater than $1000 to make him go over his limit.

Hope this helps! :)
