Question

Julia charged $612 to her credit card. The cost of her next purchase caused her to go over her credit limit of $2000.If c = the cost in dollars of Julia's next purchase, which mathematical sentence expresses the information above?A.612 - c > 2000B.612 - c < 2000C.612 + c < 2000D.612 + c > 2000

Answer 1

The cost of the first purchase was $612.

The cost of the 2nd purchase is c.

Her credit limit is $2000.

The total amount she spent will be

`612+c`

Since the cost is above the credit limit, it means that the total cost is greater than 2000.'

Therefore, we can write the expression mathematically as

`612+c>2000`

Therefore, the correct option is OPTION D.
