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. Thank you in advance for the help. I cannot seem to figure this out!
A. x=5-2.25
x being representing the amount of money you have left
B. X=5-2.25
X=$2.75
how do i solve this equation ms sue?
Oh i get it thank you Ms. Sue
dude (Shut it I'm right)
you answered all of the same questions put on another jiskha site someone else started-lol-
and I have talked in all of them-
TYSM again <:)
To solve this problem, let's first define a variable to represent the amount of money you have left after buying the turkey sandwich. Let's call this variable "x".
Since you started with $5 and spent $2.25 on the turkey sandwich, your equation would be:
x = 5 - 2.25
Now, we want to find how much more you can spend, so we need to find the value of "x".
x = 5 - 2.25
x = 2.75
Therefore, you have $2.75 left to spend. To write an inequality to represent this, we can use the less than or equal to symbol (≤). The inequality would be:
x ≤ 2.75
This means that the amount of money you have left, represented by "x", must be less than or equal to $2.75 for you to stay within your $5 budget.
