Answer 1

To find the amount of money \( m \) that the 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 inequality as follows:

1. The family pays a $5 parking fee.
2. They want to have at least $21 left after this fee.

So, the amount of money left after paying the parking fee can be represented as: \[ m - 5 \] To ensure they have at least $21 left, we set up the inequality: \[ m - 5 \geq 21 \] Now, solve for \( m \): \[ m \geq 21 + 5 \] \[ m \geq 26 \]

Thus, the inequality that shows the amount of money \( m \) that the family must bring is: \[ m \geq 26 \]

So the correct response is: m≥26
