Final answer:

The correct compound inequality for Wren's medical/personal care budget, based on 3% and 5% of her $955.00 weekly net pay, is $955.00 × 0.03 ≤ x ≤ $955.00 × 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wren earns an average weekly net pay of $955.00. The compound inequality that correctly shows the amount of money Wren can spend with a monthly budget for medical/personal care between 3% and 5% is $955.00 × 0.03 ≤ x ≤ $955.00 × 0.05. This inequality is obtained by calculating the minimum amount she could spend (3% of her weekly net pay) and the maximum amount (5% of her weekly net pay) on medical/personal care, and stating that the variable x, which represents the amount she can spend, is between these two values.
