You have $5 for lunch. You bought a turkey sandwich for $2.25. Write an solve an inequality to show how much you can spend. PLZ HELP
2.25 + x <= 5.00
I expect you can solve that.
5 - 2.25 = 2.75
= or less than 2.75
A. x=5-2.25
x being representing the amount of money you have left
B. X=5-2.25
X=$2.75
To solve this problem, we need to establish an inequality to represent how much you can spend for lunch.
Let's assume that "x" represents the amount of money you have to spend for lunch. Since you have $5 and you spent $2.25 on a turkey sandwich, the amount of money you have left to spend can be represented by 5 - 2.25.
Now, we can write the inequality:
x ≤ 5 - 2.25
To solve this inequality, we subtract $2.25 from $5:
x ≤ 2.75
This means that you can spend $2.75 or less for lunch and still have enough money left over.
