Question

Sam will spend at most $27 on gifts. So far, he has spent $18. What are the possible additional amounts he will spend? Use c for the additional amount

Answer 1

$\text{We could turn this scenario into an equation}\\\\27\geq18+c\\\\\text{You would solve for c to find how much more Sam can spend on gifts:}\\\\27\geq18+c\\\\\text{Subtract 18 from both sides:}\\\\9\geq\,c\\\\\text{This means that the additional amount Sam has is \ 9}\\\\\boxed{\ 9}$

Answer 2

Answer:$9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the additional amount be c

Total amount to spend on gift is $27

He had spent $18 so far

$18+c= $27

C= $27-$18

C=$9
