Mai will spend more than $28 on gifts. So far, she has spent $16.!What are the possible additional amounts she will spend?

Use c for the additional amount (in dollars) Mai will spend.

Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.

The possible additional amounts Mai will spend, denoted by c, can be found by subtracting the amount she has already spent from the amount she is willing to spend:

c > 28 - 16

Simplifying this inequality:

c > 12
