B. You can buy playlists in packages of 15 songs. You have $60 to spend but want to have at least $7 left

    Option D is correct.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    15 multiplied by x = 15x

    15x Subtracted from 60 = 60-15x

    60-15x needs to be greater than or equal to 7

    or we can say that 60-15x is at least 7

    If we look at the option D

    let the number of hats be x

    cost of 1 hat = $15

    cost of 15 hats = 15x

    total money = 60

    so money left after buying x hats = 60-15x

    it should be at least 7

    or we can write it as 60-15x > = 7

    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find a situation for 60-15x≥7, look for a story where 60 is a constant value that is decreasing by 15 for a number of times and where equal to or at least 7 is an option.

    A. x would be weeks and it would decrease by 7x. This is not it.

    B. 15 songs packages would have x be the number of packages not the price. This is not it.

    C. This doesn't work either because if you want to owe them less than 7 it would have the sign.

    D. You have 60 to spend and you decrease it by $15 for each hat you buy till you save $7. This is it.
