Question

You have a gift card for your favorite clothing store for the amount of $60. You have found a shirt you want to buy that costs $15. If you don't want to spend more than the amount of the gift card, which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. x + 15 ≤ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount you have left to spend after you purchase the shirt.

We must add to x the cost of the shirt, $15.  This gives us x+15.

We only have $60 to spend; this means we can spend anything up to and including $60.  This means we want "less than or equal to."  This gives us the inequality

x+15 ≤ 60
