You have only $150 spending money this week. You put $36.64 worth of gas into your car. You spend $67.41 at the grocery store. Do you have enough money to get an oil change for $32.99? Write and solve an inequality to solve this problem.(1 point)

1 answer

Let x be the amount of money left after spending on gas and groceries.

x = $150 - $36.64 - $67.41
x = $45.95

To see if there is enough money for an oil change, we write the following inequality:

x ≥ $32.99

$45.95 ≥ $32.99

Since $45.95 is greater than $32.99, there is enough money for an oil change.
