Answer 1

To determine the amount of money \( m \) that a family must bring to the amusement park so they will have at least $21 to spend after paying a $5 parking fee, we can set up the following inequality:

1. After paying the $5 parking fee, the amount of money left is \( m - 5 \).
2. We want this to be at least $21:

\[ m - 5 \geq 21 \]

3. Now, solve the inequality for \( m \):

\[ m \geq 21 + 5 \]

\[ m \geq 26 \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

m≥26 (m greater-than-or-equal-to 26)
