wish to spend more than $122 for both dues and childcare. If x represents the number of times she can use childcare services,
which of the following inequalities symbolizes this situation?
A.
$32x+ $9 > $122
B. $32x + $9 < $122
C. $9x + $32> $122
D. $9x + $32 < $122

Answer 1

The answer is D

Explanation:

Answer 2

D. $9x + $32 < $122

Explanation:

given :

x is the number of visits

$9 is the cost per visit

$32 is the monthly dues

the amount she pays each month

= monthly dues + (cost per visit x number of visits)

= 32+ 9x (rearrange)

= 9x + 32

given that she does not wish to spend more than $122, that means she wants to spend LESS than $122, i.e

amount spent < $122

or

9x + 32 < 122 (answer D)
