Trinity had $75 to buy presents for her family for the holidays. She bought a shirt for her dad for $21.95 a necklace for her mother for $23.42 and a cd for her sister for $16.75 she still has to buy a present for brother write an inequality statement that represents this situation

Answer: the inequality statement is

62.12 + x ≤ 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of the present that she needs to buy for her brother.

She bought a shirt for her dad for $21.95 a necklace for her mother for $23.42 and a cd for her sister for $16.75. The total cost of all the presents that she already bought would be

21.95 + 23.42 + 16.75 = 62.12

Trinity had $75 to buy presents for her family for the holidays and she still has to buy a present for brother. Therefore, the inequality representing the situation would be

62.12 + x ≤ 75
