Question

Mr. saslow has $32 for the class party. he spends $17 on the drinks and the cake. which of the inequalities represents the money he could spend on candy?

Answer 1

I don't see any options for inequalities, so I wrote one based on the information.

Explanation:

We'll assume that the drinks and cake ($17) are the only items Mr. Saslow needs to purchase and that the remainder may be used on whatever extras he wants. In this case, candy.

He starts with $32 and spends $17. The remainder may be spent on candy (all or none). This can be expressed as an inequality. Let C be the cost of the candy.

C
`\leq` ($32 - $17)

C
`\leq` ($32 - $17)

C
`\leq` ($15)
