A)
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)
x + 15 ≥ 60
x – 15 ≥ 60
x – 15 ≤ 60
x + 15 ≤ 60
x ≤ 60 - 15
The correct inequality to determine the amount you have left to spend would be:
x ≤ 60 - 15
or
x - 15 ≤ 60
This is because you have a gift card worth $60, and you want to buy a shirt that costs $15. To find the amount you have left to spend, you subtract the cost of the shirt from the value of the gift card.
To determine the amount you have left to spend, you can subtract the cost of the shirt from the value of the gift card. In this case, the shirt costs $15 and the gift card is worth $60.
The amount you have left to spend can be represented by the variable x. Since you are subtracting the cost of the shirt from the gift card value, the inequality should show that this difference is less than or equal to the remaining amount on the gift card.
Therefore, the correct inequality would be:
x - 15 ≤ 60.
This inequality represents that the amount you have left to spend, represented by x, is less than or equal to 60.
