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. Let x be the amount of money you can spend, then:
x < 5 - 2.25
x < 2.75
The inequality is x < 2.75, which means you can spend no more than $2.75.
B. There is nothing to solve. The inequality x < 2.75 is already in its simplest form.
