Question

Jenny earned a 77 on her most recent test. Jenny’s score is no less than 5 points greater than Four-fifths of Terrance’s score. If t represents Terrance’s score, which inequality represents the situation?
77 greater-than 5 + four-fifths t
77 greater-than-or-equal-to 5 + four-fifths t
77 less-than 5 + four-fifths t
77 less-than-or-equal-to 5 + four-fifths t

Answer 1

"no less than" means "greater than or equal to." So
77 ≥ 5 + (4/5)t.

(If you solve it: 77 − 5 ≥ (4/5)t → 72 ≥ (4/5)t → t ≤ 90.)
