Answer 1

Given:

Minimum amount a person must donate to receive a reusable bag = more than $5

Let's explain how we know when a person (x) should receive a free bag.

To know when a person should receive a free bag, we have the inequality:

`x>5`

This means anybody who donatesany amount greater than $5 will receive a free bag.

x > 5
