Question

You have a gift card for your favorite clothing store for the amount of $60. You have found a shirt you want for $15. You don't want to spend more than the amount of the gift card, which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend?

x+15 is greater than or equal to 60
x-15 is greater than or equal to 60
x+15 is less than or equal to 60
x-15 is less than or equal to 60

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The inequality that could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend would be x+15 is less than or equal to 60. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer 2

Let

x--------> the amount you have left to spend

y--------> the cost of a shirt you want

z------> the amount of the gift card

we know that

`x+y \leq z` --------> equation
`1`

`y=\$ 15` --------> equation
`2`

`z=\$ 60` --------> equation
`3`

Substitute the equation
`2` and equation
`3 in the equation [tex] 1` [/tex]

`x+y \leq z`

`x+15 \leq 60`

therefore

the answer is the option

x+15 is less than or equal to 60
