Question

Gene has $35. He will earn more than $80 next week. He will use all his money to buy clothes. Which number line shows all the possible amounts of money, in dollars, he will have after next week to buy clothes?

Answer 1

The number line that ows all the possible amounts of money, in dollars, he will have after next week to buy clothes is C.

Which number line shows all the possible amounts of money, in dollars, he will have after next week to buy clothes?

Gene starts with $35, and he will get $80 more next week, so he will have a total of:

$35 + $80 = $115

And he will spend some in clothes, so the amount of money M that he has after spending the money is less than 115, then we can define the inequality:

M < 115

This is graphed with an open circle at x = 115, and an arrow that goes to the left, like in option C.

Answer 2

Money next week = 35 + 80 = 115

All the possible amounts of money that he will have after next week is

x <115

The correct number line is c.
