Question

Tyler went to an electronics store with a gift card. After he spent 13/20 of the gift card's value on a video game, the card's value was less than $26.25. Which inequality describes x, the value of the gift card when Tyler entered the store?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{7}{20}x < 26.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

If $x is the value of the gift card when Tyler entered the store, then after spending $\frac{13}{20}$ of the gift card the card's value was less than $26.25.

So, we can write the inequality as

$x - \frac{13}{20}x < 26.25$

⇒ $\frac{7}{20}x < 26.25$

So, this is the required inequality that describes x, the value of the gift card when Tyler entered the store. (Answer)
