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 the inequality is:
x < $5 - $2.25
x < $2.75
B. To solve the inequality, we simply write the solution as:
x < $2.75
This means that you can spend any amount of money less than $2.75 for lunch.
