Question

Jenny earned a 77 on her most recent test. Jenny’s score is no less than 5 points greater than 4/5 of Terrance’s score. If t represents Terrance’s score, which inequality represents the situation?

Answer 1

77 $\geq$ 5 + 4/5t

Answer 2

Answer:    

The situation is represented by the following inequality :

$\bf 77\geq \frac{4}{5}\cdot t+ 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Score earned by Jenny on her most recent test = 77

Let the Terrance's score is represented by t

$\frac{4}{5}\text{ of the Terrance's score is = }\frac{4}{5}\cdot t$

If Terrance's score is 5 points greater then the points earned by Terrance's in the test is represented by :

$\bf\frac{4}{5}\cdot t+ 5.......(1)$

Now, according to the given condition in the question , Jenny's score is not less than the score represented by (1)

⇒ Jenny's score is greater than equal to the score represented by (1)

Hence, The situation is represented by the following inequality :

$\bf 77\geq \frac{4}{5}\cdot t+ 5$
