Question

Olivia visited a stationery shop to buy journals. She had $36 allocated for the purchase. Olivia bought 4 journals. Following the purchase, Olivia had less than $12 remaining. What is the solution set for x, representing the cost of each journal? (1 point) Responses x>$3 x is greater than 3 dollars x>$4 x is greater than 4 dollars x>$5 x is greater than 5 dollars x>$6

Answer 1

The cost of each journal can be found by dividing the total amount spent ($36 - $12 = $24) by the number of journals (4):

x = $24 / 4 = $6

Therefore, the solution set for x is x > $6.
