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?
Let x represent the amount you have left to spend. The inequality that represents the situation is:
60 - 15 ≤ x
To determine the amount you have left to spend, you can subtract the cost of the shirt you want to buy from the amount of your gift card. The difference should be less than or equal to the amount you have left to spend. Therefore, the correct inequality is:
60 - 15 ≤ Amount you have left to spend.
To determine the amount you have left to spend, you need to subtract the cost of the shirt from the total amount of the gift card. The inequality representing this situation could be:
Amount you have left to spend = Total amount on gift card - Cost of the shirt
Let's represent the total amount on the gift card as $60 and the cost of the shirt as $15:
Amount you have left to spend = $60 - $15
Simplifying this expression, we have:
Amount you have left to spend = $45
So, the inequality that represents the amount you have left to spend could be:
Amount you have left to spend ≤ $45
