Question

Felipe will spend at most $32 on gifts. So far, he has spent $19. What are the possible additional amounts he will spend?

A) $c ≥ 13
B) $c ≤ 13
C) $c > 13
D) $c < 13

Answer 1

Felipe can spend at most an additional $13 on gifts without exceeding his budget of $32, since he has already spent $19. The correct inequality representing this is B) $c ≤ 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves determining the possible additional amounts Felipe can spend on gifts without exceeding his maximum budget of $32. Felipe has already spent $19. To find the additional amount he can spend, we subtract the amount already spent from the total budget:

$32 (total budget) - $19 (amount spent) = $13

This means that Felipe can spend an additional $13 without going over his budget. The inequality that represents the possible additional amounts Felipe will spend is $c ≤ 13, where $c represents the additional amount to be spent.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) $c ≤ 13, meaning Felipe can spend at most $13 more.
