Heath took $40 to the mall. So far, he has purchased a baseball cap for $16.75. Write and solve an inequality to determine how much more money Heath can spend.

Help! I don’t know how :/

Correct d ≤ 23.25

16.75 + d ≤ 40 (d stands for dollars. we don't know what number d stands for yet, so we need to figure it out. We know that he can spend no more than $40, so that is why the "≤" sign is there. He can either spend equal to $40 or less than $40 is what the "≤" sign is saying.)

So if the total money Heath can spend is $40 and he's already spent $16.75, then we just find out how much money is left that he can spend.

You have to subtract 16.75 from both sides of the less than or equal to sign (≤). 16.75 minus 16.75 equals zero. 40 minus 16.75 equals 23.25.

So now we have: d ≤ 23.25 . That is the answer.

Sorry that took FOREVER. I had to make sure it was correct.

d ≤ 23.25

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
