Question

You have $37 when you get to the mall. you need to save $3 for bus fare to get back home. what inequality represents the amount of money, m, you can spend?

Answer 1

Answer:

m ≤ 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount in hand when reaching the mall = $37

Amount needed for bus fare = $3

Amount that you are free to spend in the mall = 37 -3 = $34

This means you can spend upto a maximum of $34 in the mall. In other words you can spend $34 or less in the mall.

If m is the amount of money you can spend, then the inequality that represents it is m ≤ 34.
