Question

Heather will spend more than $26 on gifts. So far, she has spent $15. What are the possible additional amounts she will spend?

Use c for the additional amount (in dollars) Heather will spend.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.

Answer 1

Answer: c is greater than 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Heather needs to spend more than $26 and she already spent $15, we can write this out as

c + 15 is greater than 26

subtracting 15 from both sides;

c is greater than 11
