Question

Bob will spend at most $31 on gifts. So far, he has spent $18. What are the possible additional amounts he will spend?
Use c for the additional amount (in dollars) Bob will spend.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.

Answer 1

To find the possible additional amounts Bob will spend, we need to consider that he has already spent $18 and the total amount he can spend is at most $31. Let's denote the additional amount he will spend as "c" (in dollars).

We can express the inequality as follows:

c ≤ $31 - $18

Simplifying the right side:

c ≤ $13

Therefore, the possible additional amounts Bob will spend, represented by "c," are less than or equal to $13. The inequality is c ≤ $13.
