Question

Catherine has $54. She plans to spend more than $20 of the money for a painting canvas. The rest will go toward paints. Each tube of paint costs $8.50. Assume that x represents the number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy. The inequality that best represents this scenario is _____. A. 8.5x + 20 > 54 B. 8.5x - 20 < 54 C. 54 - 8.5x < 20 D. 54 - 8.5x > 20 The number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy is _____. A. at least 5 B. more than 4 C. less than 4 D. more than 5

Vocaloid · Answer

"more than $20 for painting canvas" which means that the (starting money - paint cost) > 20 if she's supposed to have at least 20 leftover for the canvas

fill in the appropriate information from the problem to complete the inequality

then solve the inequality for x
