A: s + 15 + ≥ 40
B: s + 15 + ≤ 40
C: s - 15 ≥ 40
D 40 + 15 < s

Answer 1

saved+need to save is at least needed
15+s≥40

A is answer

Answer 2

A.
`s+15\geq 40`

Explanation:

Let s represent the amount of money, you need to save to buy new pair of shoes.

We have been given that you have saved $15. So after saving $s, the total amount of money, you will have:
`s+15`.

Since you need to save at-least $40, so the amount of money you need to save would be:

`s+15\geq 40`

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
