Question

8. Paul ordered a sweater which costs $36 online. The shipping charges are

$12.25. Paul can only spend $72.
write an inequality that represents his situation

Answer 1

36+12.25≤72

Explanation:

36 represents of the sweater. You add the shipping cost, 12.25, and the sign ≤ means less than or equal. This is the correct sign because Paul can't spend more than 72 but he can spend exactly 72. That is why the equation is 36+12.25≤72. Hope this helps :)
