  2. Lupe can spend no more than $3.01 for both these purchases and the concert ticket.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. State the concept for inequality.

To graph the endpoint with strict inequality < or >, use the open parenthesis or a hollow circle at that endpoint.

To graph the endpoint with inequality symbol ≤or≥, use the bracket or a solid circle at that endpoint.

Properties of inequality:

1.b≤c⇒b±a≤c±a2.b≤c⇒ab≤ac,ifa>03.b≤c⇒ab≥ac,ifa<0

02

Part a.  Step 2. State the inequality from the given information.

Let m represents how much money she can spend that month after buying a concert ticket.

The inequality:

m+45≤60

03

Part a.  Step 3. Solve the inequality.

Solve for m:

m+45≤60m+45−45≤60−45m≤15

Lupe can spend that month after buying a concert ticket no more than $15.

04

Part b. Step 1. State the concept for inequality.

To graph the endpoint with strict inequality < or >, use the open parenthesis or a hollow circle at that endpoint.

To graph the endpoint with inequality symbol ≤or≥, use the bracket or a solid circle at that endpoint.

Properties of inequality:

1.b≤c⇒b±a≤c±a2.b≤c⇒ab≤ac,ifa>03.b≤c⇒ab≥ac,ifa<0

05

Part b. Step 2. State the inequality from the given information.

Let m represents how much money she can spend both these purchases and the concert ticket.

The inequality:

m+45+9.99+2≤60

06

Part b. Step 3. Solve the inequality.

Solve for m:

m+45+9.99+2≤60m+56.99≤60m+56.99−56.99≤60−56.99m≤3.01

Thus, Lupe can spend no more than $3.01 for both these purchases and the concert ticket.
