Question

Zoey needs at least $30 to buy a gift. She has $12. What inequality could Zoey use to find out how much more money (m) she needs?

Answer 1

The sign she would use would be
`\geq`

Answer 2

Answer: The required inequality would be
`12+m\geq 30`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount atleast she needs = $30

Amount she has = $12

Let the amount needed to buy a gift be 'm'.

So, the total amount should be
`12+m`

It should be atleast 30.

According to question, we get that

`12+m\geq 30`

Hence, the required inequality would be
`12+m\geq 30`
