Write an inequality for the following: Joe has $53. He needs at least $76 to buy the jacket he wants. How much more money does he need for the jacket?

Respuesta :

He must have at least 76 dollars to buy the jacket.  Set x to the amount of money he needs.  We have:

[tex]76 \leq 53+x[/tex]

This is because 76 is less than or equal to the extra money he has plus the original $53.
