Question 63042: some one please help me with this one!!!!!
You have an allowance of $15.00 per week. You are in a bowling league that costs $6.50 each week, and you save at least $5.00 each week. Write and solve an inequality to show how much you have left to spend each week.

Given that the savings are at least $5.00 then the maximum money left to spend will be when only $5 is saved with less money to spend for a greater amount saved.
Money left to spend <= Allowance - (Bowling + Savings)
Money left to spend <= 15 - (6.5 + 5)
Money left to spend <= 15 - 11.5
Money left to spend <= $3.50
