Answer 2

thx.:)

Answer 3

Let m = amount michael spent and c = amount claire spent

Answer 4

they spent a total of m+c dollars

Answer 5

this total is over 230, so

m+c > 230

Answer 6

we know that claire spent 138, so c = 138 and we can say

m+c > 230

m+138 > 230

m > 230 - 138

m > 92

Answer 7

which means he spent over $92
