Question

Jade has $60. She wants to buy some movies that cost $11 each. Jade wants to have at least $20 remaining.

Answer 1

Answer:

60-11x < 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first set out all the information we know.

• Jade has only $60, so we cannot go above the amount she has.

• Each movie costs $11

• She wants at LEAST $20 remaining  

So, the first thing that will be in the inequality would be $60. Since you are wasting money, you have to subtract.

The thing that will be subtracted more than once is $11, so it will have the variable "x" added to it.

What we have so far is:

60-11x

Because this is an inequality, we will have a less than sign.

After that, we can conclude that $20 will come next because that is at the end of the problem.

So, the answer is:

60-11x < 20
