Emily has 140 books. if frank were to triple the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than emily has.
if b = the number of books that frank has, which mathematical sentence expresses the information above?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent number of books that Frank has.

We have been given that Emily has 140 books.

Triple the number of books Frank would be three times b: .

If Frank were to triple the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has.

This means is less than 140. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

Therefore, the inequality represents the given scenario.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
