Ashley will spend more than 30 on gifts. So far, she has spent 17. What are the possible additional amounts she will spend?

Question

Use c for the additional amount (in dollars) Ashley will spend.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.

Answer 1

The inequality that represents the possible additional amounts Ashley will spend is:

c > 30 - 17

Simplifying the right side of the inequality, we get:

c > 13

Therefore, the possible additional amounts Ashley will spend are any values greater than 13.
