Question

Ricardo has a $50 gift card for an electronic store. he also has a coupon good for $10 off his purchase. Let a represent the amount of merchandise Ricardo can buy from the store using his gift card and coupon. Write and solve any quality to represent the situation

Answer 1

a < 60

Explanation:

First off, he has a gift card ($50), plus the coupon ($10), so he can spend a total of $60.

Now we know he can only buy $60 worth of stuff. We cannot go over this amount.

So the inequality is a < 60. But also we can get exactly $60 dollars of things or less so actually, the inequality is a < 60

Answer 2

Well, that means he can buy 60$ in the shop.
Because: if he buys something of 60$ (we'll forget the taxes since it is not mentioned), and has 10$ off, that means the item drops to 50$. And then he can use his full gift card.
