Layla has allotted $76 for gifts while on vacation. She plans to buy a souvenir for her parents for $16 and spend the rest on 4 T-shirts for her friends. If x represents the price, in dollars, of a T-shirt, which inequality correctly represents the money Layla will spend on souvenirs?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x is the price of a t-shirt and she buys 4 t-shirts, so she spends 4x dollars on 4 t-shirts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x + 16 ≤ 76 16x + 4 ≤ 76 4x + 16 ≥ 76 16x + 4 ≥ 76

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if she spends 4x dollars on t-shirts and $16 on souvenirs for her parents, then how much money has she spent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-_- come on

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

just give it your best shot at least

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wait

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 * 4 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

just add 4x and 16 to get 4x+16

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can't do much else after that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so is it more then 76 or less ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4x+16 is the total amount of money she spends

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Layla has allotted $76 for gifts while on vacation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which one is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x + 16 ≥ 76

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how can she spend more than $76 when she only has $76 allotted?
