Question

Which situation can be modeled by the inequality 50 - 12x > 8?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Borrowed $50 from your cousin. You pay him $8 and must pay him back within 12 weeks.

Let x be the amount paid on each week.

$50-8\leq 12x$

$50-12x\leq 8$

You can buy bags of pretzels in packages of 12. You $50 to spend, but want to have at least $8 left.

Let x be the amount of each package.

$50-12x\geq 8$

You owe your sister $50. You plan to pay her $12 a week till you owe her less than $8.

Let x be the amount paid on each week.

$50-12x$

You have $50 to spend on clothes, but you need to save at least $8 for bus fare. You plan to spend the rest on shirts that cost $12 each (including tax).

Let x be the number of shirts

$50-12x>8$

Therefore, the correct option is D.
