Question

Mai buys candy that costs $7 per pound. She will buy more than 10 pounds of candy. What are the possible amounts she will spend on candy?

Answer 1

7x, where 7$ = per pound.

7(10) = 70$ per 10 pounds.

But, it says she will buy more than 10 pounds so;

7(11) = 77$ per 11 pounds.

The possible amounts she will spend on candy is:

x ≥ 77$, meaning the amounts she will spend will be either $77 or higher.
