Question

You have a gift card for your favorite clothing store for the amount of $60. You have found a shirt you want for $15. 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?
x+15 is greater than or equal to 60
x-15 is greater than or equal to 60
x+15 is less than or equal to 60
x-15 is less than or equal to 60

Answer 1

Let

x--------> the amount you have left to spend

y--------> the cost of a shirt you want

z------> the amount of the gift card

we know that

$x+y \leq z$ --------> equation $1$

$y=\ 15$ --------> equation $2$

$z=\ 60$ --------> equation $3$

Substitute the equation $2$ and equation $3 in the equation [tex] 1$ [/tex]

$x+y \leq z$

$x+15 \leq 60$

therefore

the answer is the option

x+15 is less than or equal to 60

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The inequality that could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend would be x+15 is less than or equal to 60. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
