George went to the store to buy notebooks.
• He had $36 to spend.
• He purchased 4 notebooks.
• After buying the notebooks, George had less than $12 left.
What is the solution set for x, the cost of each notebook?
Responses
A x > $4x > $4
B x > $3x > $3
C x > $6x > $6
D x > $5
Let's set up the equation to solve for x, the cost of each notebook.
George spent 4x dollars on notebooks, which left him with less than $12. So we have the equation:
36 - 4x < 12
Subtracting 36 from both sides, we get:
-4x < -24
Dividing both sides by -4, we get:
x > 6
So the solution set for x is x > $6, which matches option C.
