Question

Joe has $20 to spend on two model cars and supplies to paint them. The paint supplies cost $4.00 Which expression shows how much he can spend on each model?

A. x ≤ $8
B. x ≥ $8
C. x ≤ $16
D. x ≥ $16

Answer 1

Answer:

So he has 20$ to spend.  He spends 4$ to paint them.  That means that after getting the supplies he would have 16$ left to spend on the cars.

Answer 2

Answer:

• A. x ≤ $8

Step-by-step explanation:

• John has $20
• He spends $4 on paint supplies

He can spend x dollars on each model and 2x on both:

• 2x ≤ 20 - 4
• 2x ≤ 16
• x ≤ 8

Correct choice is A.
