Question

Rachel received $650 for her birthday. She purchased a surfboard for $477 and some additional accessories without spending more than the money she received.

She wrote the inequality 477 + x < 650.

Is the inequality correct?
Yes, because 477 and an unknown amount is less than 650.
No, because 477 and an unknown amount is greater than 650.
No, because the inequality symbol should be less than or equal to 650.
No, because x should be subtracted from 477.

Answer 1

No, because the inequality symbol should be less than or equal to 650.

Answer 2

No, because the inequality symbol should be less than or equal to 650.

Explanation:

it should be "No, because the inequality symbol should be less than or equal to 650." because the statement says she gets the accessories without spending MORE than the amount she received, it says nothing about spending the exact amount.
