Question

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

The situation is represented by the following inequality :

`\bf 77\geq (4)/(5)\cdot t+ 5`

Explanation:

Score earned by Jenny on her most recent test = 77

Let the Terrance's score is represented by t

`(4)/(5)\text{ of the Terrance's score is = }(4)/(5)\cdot t`

If Terrance's score is 5 points greater then the points earned by Terrance's in the test is represented by :

`\bf(4)/(5)\cdot t+ 5.......(1)`

Now, according to the given condition in the question , Jenny's score is not less than the score represented by (1)

⇒ Jenny's score is greater than equal to the score represented by (1)

Hence, The situation is represented by the following inequality :

`\bf 77\geq (4)/(5)\cdot t+ 5`
