Answer 2

x ≤ $37

Explanation:

The question states that I can spend $50 at most on snacks in a party. This statement means that the highest amount I can spend on snacks in that party is $50, I can't spend more than.

I have spent $13 in that party so far. Therefore, out of the $50 I can spend, it means I have $50 - $13 = $37 left.

Remember that the total amount I can spend is $50 and I have spent $13 already.

Therefore, the additional amount I can spend on snacks in that party can only be less than or equal to $50 - $13 = $37.

Mathematically, this expression can be shown by using the (≤) which is the sign for less than or equal to.

We say that:

x ≤ $37

Where x = the additional amount that can be done spent on snacks at the party.

$37 is the remaining amount that can be spent or amount left to be spent.

Thus, the inequality that mathematically expresses the additional amount that can be spent in that party is:

x ≤ $37
