Ailey is shopping at a department store during a 20% off everything sale. She also has a coupon for $5.00 off the sale amount. Hailey wants to keep her total under $65.00 before tax, so she creates this inequality:

0.80x − $5.00 ≤ $65.00.

Which inequality represents all possible solutions for x?

A.
x ≤ $75.00
B.
x ≤ $76.25
C.
x ≤ $86.25
D.

Answer:86.25

Explanation:

86.25 x .80 = 69.20

69.20 - 5.00 = 64.20 which is under 65.00

answer d is incorrect because she would be at 65.00 and she wants to be under 65.00
