Question

You have $5 for lunch. You bought a turkey sandwich for $2.25. Write and solve and inequality to show how much more you can spend. Thank you!

Answer 1

2.25 + x < = 5
x < = 5 - 2.25
x < = 2.75

Answer 4

I can help explain

Answer 5

Thanks for your time!

Answer 6

You have $5 to spend and have already spent $2.25. This can be shown by:
x+2.25≤5
This means that whatever we spend (including the $2.25) must be equal to or less than $5.
We can simplify the equation:
x≤2.75
This means that we have x dollars left to spend, or $2.75.
