Olivia visited a stationery shop to buy journals. She had $36 allocated for the purchase. Olivia bought 4 journals. Following the purchase, Olivia had less than $12 remaining. What is the solution set for x, representing the cost of each journal? (1 point)
Let's assume the cost of each journal is x.
The total cost of 4 journals is 4x.
According to the given information, Olivia had $36 allocated for the purchase and had less than $12 remaining.
Therefore, we can set up the inequality 36 - 4x < 12.
Simplifying the inequality, we have 36 - 12 < 4x, which becomes 24 < 4x.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 4, we get 6 < x.
So, the solution set for x, representing the cost of each journal, is x > 6.
