You have a gift card for your favorite clothing store for the amount of $60. You have found a shirt you want to buy that costs $15. If you don't want to spend more than the amount of the gift card, which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend? (1 point) Responses x + 15 ≥ 60 x + 15 ≥ 60 x – 15 ≥ 60 x – 15 ≥ 60 x – 15 ≤ 60 x – 15 ≤ 60 x + 15 ≤ 60 x + 15 ≤ 60
The correct inequality that could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend is:
x - 15 ≤ 60
The correct inequality to determine the amount you have left to spend is:
x ≤ 60 - 15
or
x ≤ 45
To determine the amount you have left to spend using an inequality, you need to subtract the cost of the shirt from the value of the gift card. Let's call the amount you have left to spend "x".
The cost of the shirt is $15, so the inequality should express that the amount left to spend (x) is greater than or equal to $0, i.e., x ≥ 0.
To determine the amount you have left to spend, you need to subtract the cost of the shirt ($15) from the value of the gift card ($60).
Therefore, the correct inequality would be: x ≥ 60 - 15 which simplifies to x ≥ 45.
So, the correct inequality is x ≥ 45.
