Question

Fatema will spend more than $30 on gifts. So far, she has spent $14 . What are the possible additional amounts she will spend? Use c for the additional amount (in dollars) . Write your answer as an inequality solved for c .

Answer 1

c > $16

Explanation:

Since she already spent $14 from the original $30 then the value of C would be the following inequality.

c > 30 - 14

c > 16

Therefore, the additional amount she could spend needs to be greater than $16 in order for Fatema to actually spend more than the $30 she wanted to spend on gifts in total.
