Respuesta :

To represent Coach Riley's situation with the pizza and soda costs in an inequality, follow these steps:

1. Identify the costs involved:

- Pizza costs $12.

- A pitcher of soda costs $3.

- Coach Riley wants to spend more than $60 in total.

2. Express the total cost as an inequality:

- Let "x" represent the total amount spent on pizza and soda.

- The total cost is the sum of the pizza cost and the soda cost: 12 (pizza) + 3 (soda).

- The total cost should be greater than $60: x > 60.

Therefore, the inequality that represents Coach Riley's situation is:

12 + 3x > 60

This inequality ensures that Coach Riley spends more than $60 on pizza and soda to earn her reward points after the last game of the season.
