Question

Jenny is buying gifts for her family. So far she has spent $45.95, and she has one more gift to buy. She started with a total of $60 to spend on all of her gifts.

Write an inequality that shows how much she can spend on the final gift.
A) 45.95 + x ≥ 60
B) 45.95 + x ≤ 60
C) 60 + x ≥ 45.95
D) 60 + x ≤ 45.95

Answer 1

The answer is B.
The money she has already spent ($45.95) plus what ever is left over (x) has to be less than or equal to $60

Answer 2

Answer: B)
`45.95 + x\leq60`

Explanation:

Let the amount she will spend on one more gift be 'x',

Then the total amount she spend on gifts =
`45.95+x`

Since, she started with a total of $60 (maximum amount) to spend on all of her gifts.

Then, the started with a total of $60 to spend on all of her gifts is given by :-

`45.95 + x\leq60`
