dante has at most $12 to spend on entertainment each week. so far this week, he spent $7.50. Write and solve an inequality to determine how much money dante can spend on entertainment the rest of the week.
To determine how much money Dante can spend on entertainment for the rest of the week, we can set up an inequality.
Let's call the amount Dante can spend on entertainment for the rest of the week "x".
The total amount Dante can spend on entertainment for the entire week is $12.
The amount Dante has already spent this week is $7.50.
To find out how much he can spend for the rest of the week, we subtract the amount he has already spent from the total budget:
12 - 7.50 = x
Now we can write the inequality:
x ≤ 12 - 7.50
Simplifying the inequality:
x ≤ 4.50
Therefore, Dante can spend at most $4.50 on entertainment for the rest of the week.
