Question

Jina buys candy that costs $5 per pound. She will buy more than 7 pounds of candy. What are the possible amounts she will spend on candy?

Answer 1

anything above $35, just multiply 5 and 7

Answer 2

`a>35`

Explanation:

We can set this up as an inequality. If candy costs $5 per pound and Jina is going to buy more than seven pounds, we can infer that she is going to spend at least $35. So, if we have
`a` for the amount she will spend, we can say that
`a>35`.

Hope this helps!
