Question

Leticia spends $18.45 on a shirt. She spends at least $3.00 more than Humberto spends. If h represents the amount Humberto spends, which symbol can be used to complete the inequality below to represent this situation?

Answer 1

The inequality representing the situation is
`18.45\geq 3+h`.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of money Leticia spend on shirts = $18.45

Amount spend by Humberto = 'h'

We need to write the symbol to complete the inequality below to represent this situation. 18.45_3+h.

Solution:

Now Given:

She spends at least $3.00 more than Humberto spends.

So we can say that;

Amount of money Leticia spend on shirts must greater than equal to 3 plus amount spend my Humberto.

framing in equation form we get;

`18.45\geq 3+h`

Hence The inequality representing the situation is
`18.45\geq 3+h`.
