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.
A. We want to find an inequality that represents how much more money can be spent, which means we need to subtract the cost of the turkey sandwich from the amount of money we have:
$5 - $2.25 < x, where x represents the amount of money left over to spend.
B. We can solve for x:
$5 - $2.25 < x
$2.75 < x
So, the inequality is $2.75 < x. This means that you can spend no more than $2.75 on lunch, in addition to the $2.25 spent on the turkey sandwich.
