Which situation can be modeled by the inequality 60−15x≥760-15x≥7?                            1 ) You borrowed 

$60  from your older brother. You pay him  $7  a week and need to pay him back within  15 weeks                                                                                                        2 ) You owe your parents  $60  and plan to pay them  $15  a week until you owe them less than  $7 .                                                                                                                 3 )  You can buy playlists in packages of  15  songs. You have  $60  to spend but want to have at least  $7  left.                                                                                           4) You have  $60  to spend on hats at the mall, but you need to save at least  $7  for lunch. You plan to spend the rest on hats that cost  $15  each (including tax).

The answer is number 4 "You have $60 to spend on hats at the mall, but you need to save at least $7 for lunch. You plan to spend the rest on hats that cost $15 each including tax"
60-$15x refers to "you have $60 to spend on hats" and "to spend the rest on hats" while <7 for ''save at least $7 for lunch"
