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.

Answer 1

there would be about 4 tubes of paint

Answer 2

"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
