Question

George has $23 to spend on art supplies.He wants to buy markers,paper, and glue.If the total cost of the markers and paper is more than $14, which inequality represents the dollar amount,p,George can spend on glue?

Answer 1

The inequality that would represent the amount that could be spent on glue, p is:

p <$9

You will determine this by subtracting 23 and 14 to get $9.  If this is $9, that means you will spend less that that, because you will spend more that the $14 on the other supplies.
