Question

I will medal and fan!!!
You have $5 for lunch. You bought a turkey sandwich for $2.25. Write and solve an inequality to show how much more you can spend.\
Please help I dont get it!!!:[

Answer 1

is this a multiple choice question?

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

Well, if you were just thinking about this in real life, how much money do you have left after buying the turkey sandwich?

Answer 4

You would have $2.75 left

Answer 5

good, so the question is how much MORE can you spend, in other words, of course you don't have to spend ALL of the $2.75... you can spend less than $2.75 if you want

Answer 6

in fact, you can spend less than or equal to $2.75

Answer 7

so that answers the question, do you have any questions about the reason? We still have to do the equation next.

Answer 8

no not really

Answer 9

Actually scratch that, that won't work! :)

Answer 10

We should write this:

Turkey + money left to spend <= $5

Answer 11

but replace turkey with the actual value $2.25 leaving us with:

2.25 + money left to spend <= 5

Answer 12

or if you prefer, 2.25 + x <= 5 the symbol you choose doesn't have to be an 'x' that's just the usual choice. :)

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

our equation works since we can solve for x and get the 2.75 like we should. :)
