Hello peeps Could someone help me with this please. This is the problem:
You have $5 for lunch. You bought a turkey sandwich for 2.25.
A. Write an inequality that represents how much more money you can spend.
B. Solve your inequality
Explain your answer.
I need help with figuring out the problem.
Is this the answer
Thank you, Ms. Sue, I think I can solve the inequality from here.
Ooh just realized how to put this in my name--xD
A. To write an inequality that represents how much more money you can spend, we need to subtract the cost of the turkey sandwich from the total amount you have.
Let's define:
Let "x" represent the additional money you can spend.
The cost of the turkey sandwich is $2.25.
The inequality can be written as:
x ≤ $5 - $2.25
B. To solve the inequality, we need to simplify the expression on the right side of the inequality symbol.
$5 - $2.25 = $2.75
Therefore, the solution is:
x ≤ $2.75
This means you can spend up to $2.75 more on your lunch.
2.25 + x < 5
x < 2,75
