I need help on my math question. can someone please explain the process?

You have $5 for lunch. You bought a turkey sandwich for $2.25. Write and solve an inequality to show how much more you can spend.

5 - 2.25 ≥ 2.75

okay, I'm not sure how you were taught to do this, but this is how I would.
1st: subtract 2.25 from 5 to get 2.75.
(5-2.25=2.75)
2nd: write the inequality. So, because you have $2.75 left you can get anything that is less than or equal to $2.75.

Hope this helps!

Would the inequality be 2.75 <_ 5 or no? I'm sorry, I'm not good with inequalities
Answered by EmTheDiva
No it would be 5- 2.25 > 2.75 (make sure there is a line under the greater sign) And thanks for the help turnip!!!
