Use (c) for the additional amount (in dollars) kevin will spend
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

16 = amount spent so far
c = additional amount to spend
16+c = total amount he will spend (previous + additional)

We want this total (16+c) to be 28 or smaller. So we want 16+c to be less than or equal to 28.

The inequality to solve is . To isolate c, we undo the addition happening to it. So we'll subtract 16 from both sides

Therefore Kevin the additional amount Kevin can spend is at most $12. He can spend $12 or he can spend less than this amount.

Side note: your teacher may want you to restrict that c cannot be negative. So you may need to say . Of course, its best to ask your teacher to clarify.
