Question

Jenny earned a 77 on her most recent test. Jenny's score is no less than 5 points greater than Four-fifths of Terrance's score. If t represents Terrance's score, which inequality represents the situation? 77 greater-than 5 + four-fifths t 77 greater-than-or-equal-to 5 + four-fifths t 77 less-than 5 + four-fifths t 77 less-than-or-equal-to 5 + four-fifths t

Answer 1

The correct answer is B

Answer 2

`77\ge (4x)/(5)+5`

Explanation:

It is given that,

The scored earned by Jenny = 77

Jenny's score is no less than 5 points greater than Four-fifths of Terrance's score. Let Terrance's score is x.

Four-fifths of Terrance's score means = (4x/5)

ATQ,

77
`\ge` 5 points greater than Four-fifths of Terrance's score

So,

`77\ge (4x)/(5)+5`

Hence, the above expression shows the required inequality for the situation.
