Olivia visited a stationary shop to buy journals
She had $36 allocated for the purchase.
Olivia bought 4 journals.
Following the purchase, Olivia had less than $12 remaining
What is the solution set for x, representing the number of each journal
A. x > $3
B. x > $4
C. x > $5
D. x > $6
Let's set up the equation to determine the cost of each journal:
4x + 12 < 36
Subtracting 12 from both sides:
4x < 24
Dividing both sides by 4:
x < 6
Therefore, the solution set for x, representing the number of each journal, is x > $6.
So the correct option is:
D. x > $6
