gabe went to the park with 40 dollars to spend. his ticket was 26.50 dollars.write and solve an inequality to show how much he might spend on snacks

Question

 it is a inequalities question 6th grade math

Answer 1

Let x equal the amount of money Gabe can spend on snacks.  His ticket is a set price ($26.50) and he began with $40.00.

 

40-26.50 is greater than or equal to x  (since he can spend up to, but not over the difference between his spending money and the ticket price.).

 

40 -26.50 =  14.50   so   x is greater than or equal to $14.50.
