Question

Tommy wants to buy a new bike. Tommy has $199, which is $35 less than he needs. Which equation or inequality represents the cost of the bike (b) A 199-35=b B 119+35=b C 119>35b D 119< b+35

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount Tommy has = $ 199

The actual amount that Tommy needs to purchase bike = 199 + 35 = $ 234

This is the price of the bike.

This condition can be true from option (d).

From option (d)

119 < b + 35

Put b = 234 we get

119 < 234 + 35

119 < 269

Thus the condition satisfied. so option (d) is correct.
