Clarissa has a budget of $1,200 a month to spend for rent and food. She has already spent $928 this month. Which inequality repr
esents the amount she can still spend this month and remain within her budget? x greater-than 272
x less-than-or-equal-to 272
x less-than 272
x greater-than-or-equal-to 272
1200-928 = 272 for the rest of the month Clarissa has to spend.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we don't want her to go over her budget so we wouldn't choose a greater than option for her so eliminate the first option and the last option. Now we just have the middle two. We want to keep it under 1200 but theres nothing wrong with spending that exact amount each month so I would pick x less than or equal to 272, since we can still equal the total of less than the total and not go over. Option 2 or B.
