A student wants to purchase some new school supplies. He wants to buy a calculator that costs $24 and some notebooks for school. Each notebook costs $2. The student only has $37 to spend.

Responses
37≥2n+24
37 is greater than or equal to 2 n plus 24
37>2n+24
37 is greater than 2 n plus 24
37<2n+24
37<2n+24
24n+2≥37
None of the inequalities provided correctly describe the scenario. The correct inequality would be:
2n + 24 ≤ 37
This inequality represents that the total cost of the notebooks (2n) plus the cost of the calculator (24) is less than or equal to the total amount the student has to spend (37).
The correct inequality that describes this scenario is:
37 ≥ 2n + 24
