Question

You order a new pair of running shoes from a website that offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. Your shoes cost $69.95. Write and solve an inequality that represents how much more you must spend to get free shipping.

Answer 1

Answer: x > 75-69.95; you need five dollars and five cents more for free shipping ($5.05)

Step-by-step explanation: i believe this is the correct answer because as long as you have 75 dollars or more, then you will be good so that’s how i got the inequality. to find this you just subtract the amount needed (75) by the amount you have and you get your answer. oh and to be clear x represents the amount needed for free shipping. i am not sure if i understood the problem correctly so i apologize if it is incorrect. i hope this helped and good luck!
