Martina will spend more than $36 on gifts. So far, she has spent $22. What are the possible additional amounts she will spend?
Use c for the additional amount (in dollars) Martina will spend.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.

Answer 1

If Martina has already spent $22 and will spend more than $36 in total, then we can set up an inequality to represent the possible additional amounts she will spend:

$22 + c > $36

To solve for c, we can isolate it on one side of the inequality by subtracting $22 from both sides:

c > $36 - $22

c > $14

Therefore, the possible additional amounts Martina will spend (represented by c) must be greater than $14. The inequality solved for c is c > $14.
