Question

Steve played a car race game. He gained some points, lost 27 points, and finished with less than 400 points. Which of the following inequality represents the given situation?

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Let's assume that the points that Steve got from the car race game is

$x$

When he lost 27 points, this becomes

$x-27$

And he finished with less than 400. That is the whole point is less than 400, so the equation becomes

$x-27<400$

Therefore, the last option is the correct answer.
