Question

Mirna earned $145 baby-sitting during the spring break. She needs to save $105 for the German Club trip. She wants to spend the remainder of the money shopping. Use s for the amount of money Mirna can spend. Enter your inequality in the most simplified form.

Answer 1

$145 - $105 ≤ $40

Explanation:

Amount earned = $145

Amount to save = $105

Amount to spend, s = $145 - $105

= $40

The inequality is

Amount earned - Amount to save ≤ Amount to spend

$145 - $105 ≤ s

$145 - $105 ≤ $40
