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 > 2000
B. 612 - c < 2000
C. 612 + c < 2000
D. 612 + c > 2000

Answer 1

She has already spent 612, and by adding C 612 has gone ABOVE 2000
So 612 + C MUST be Greater Than 2000
The answer is D

Answer 2

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

So if she charged $612 to the card, this means that she spent $612 with her credit card.

Now, she purchases something with a cost of c dollars, and she goes over the limit of $2000

So we must have that:

$612 + c is greater than $2000

this can be written as:

$612 + c > $2000

the correct option is option D.
