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 be the amount you have left to spend.
The inequality that could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend is:
15 ≤ 60 - x
Let x represent the amount of money you have left to spend.
The amount you have on the gift card is $60.
The cost of the shirt is $15.
In order to find the amount you have left to spend, you subtract the cost of the shirt from the amount on the gift card:
$60 - $15 = $45
Therefore, the correct inequality to determine the amount you have left to spend is:
x ≤ $45
To determine the amount you have left to spend, you need to subtract the cost of the shirt from the value of the gift card. The inequality that represents this situation is:
Remaining amount <= Total amount - Cost of the shirt
Let's substitute the values into the inequality:
Remaining amount <= $60 - $15
Simplifying:
Remaining amount <= $45
Therefore, the correct inequality that could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend is:
Remaining amount <= $45
