Question

Dani’s Neighbours paid her to take care of their bird during their vacation Danny spent four dollars of her earnings on an afternoon snack and $16 on a new book afterwards, she had at least eight dollars left. Write an inequality to represent how much Dani’s neighbors paid her

Answer 1

Inequality that represents the amount paid by neighbors of Dani will be

x ≤ 8 + (4 + 16)

Explanation:

Let the neighbors of Dani paid her to take care of their bird = $x

Danny spent on an afternoon snack = $4

She paid the amount for a new book = $16

Now the amount left with her is at least $8.

Therefore, inequality which represents the amount paid by her neighbor will be

x - 4 - 16 ≤ 8

x ≤ 8 + (4 + 16)
