Answer 1

Answer:

M > $50

3 possible amount that Jonas could have spent are:

$52, $70, $95

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information that was given in the question. Jonas spent more than $50.

This also means that the amount that Jonas spent is greater than $50.

In Inequalities, we represent "greater than" using the symbol ">" and "less than", Using the symbol "<".

First we write the inequality using words only, and then we rewrite using symbols:

The amount of money that Jonas spent is greater than $50

The amount of money that Jonas spent > $50

Let us use the letter "M" to represent the amount of money that Jonas spent.

We then have:

M > $ 50.

The possible amount that Jonas spent is any amount that is greater than $50. which means use can choose any amount as far as it  is more than $50.

which is why 52, 70 and 95 were chosen.
