Question

Write an inequality for the following.
Abdul is skipping for a new truck in a city with an 8% sales tax. There is also an$84 title and license fee to pay. He wants to get a good truck and plans to spend at least $12000 but no more than $15000. What is the price range for the truck?

Answer 1

Let the truck price be t.  Then:

$12000 ≤ t + $84 ≤ $15000.

Subtracting $84 from both sides, we get the price range:

$11916 ≤ t ≤ $14916
