Question

Carly spent $150 on supplies and $125 on labor for her home. She could not spend more than $500 total. Which of these is a valid statement?

Answer 1

Answer:

she could spend up to $225 on more supplies

Step-by-step explanation:

the total amount of supplies and labor has to be less than or equal to $500. If she spent $150 and $125=$275 on supplies and labor, the equation would be 150+125+x≤ 500. Isolate x, to get x≤ $225. The value of x has to be less than or equal to $225.
