Laura spent no more than $76 on a calculator and math textbook. The calculator cost $35. She spent t dollars on the textbook. Which inequality could be used to find the possible values for t?

Question

A. 35t ≤ 7635 t ≤ 76
B. 35 + t ≥ 7635 + t ≥ 76
C. 35 + t ≤ 7635 + t ≤ 76
D. 35t ≥ 76

Answer 1

The correct inequality could be written as:

35 + t ≤ 76

This means that the cost of the textbook plus the cost of the calculator (35 + t) cannot be greater than $76. So, the correct answer is C.
