First let's define the variables of the problem:
t: Tip
b: dinner bill.
We write the inequality based on the following proposition:
"Maria would like to leave a tip (t) of at least 15% of her dinner bill (b)"
We have then that the inequation is:
t> = 0.15b
Answer:
An inequality best could be used to find the amount of the tip Maria would like to leave is:
t> = 0.15b
