Question

A grocery store is giving a reusable bag to every person who donates more than $5 to charity. Use the symbol > or < to show any given amount (x) is greater than $5.

Answer 1

x > 5

Step-by-step explanation

The symbols < and > used to show that an amount is less than or greater than a certain amount always have the greatest amount next to the "open" side of the sign, while the least amount is written next to the "vertex" of the symbol.

Thus, if we want to show that any given amount x is greater than 5, then we have to write x, then the symbol > and then the number 5: x > 5
