Now that you have an additional $300, revise your inequality from part a to reflect your new spending limit. Solve this inequality.

1 answer

Let's assume the inequality from part a was:

x + 1250 ≤ 1750

Now, we will revise the inequality to reflect the new spending limit of $300, which means our total budget would be $1750 + $300 = $2050.

x + 1250 ≤ 2050

To solve this inequality, we first subtract 1250 from both sides:

x ≤ 2050 - 1250

Simplifying further:

x ≤ 800

Therefore, the solution to the revised inequality is x ≤ 800. This means that the maximum amount the person can spend is $800 in order to stay within their new spending limit.
