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:
The situation is represented by the following inequality :
[tex]\bf 77\geq \frac{4}{5}\cdot t+ 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Score earned by Jenny on her most recent test = 77
Let the Terrance's score is represented by t
[tex]\frac{4}{5}\text{ of the Terrance's score is = }\frac{4}{5}\cdot t[/tex]
If Terrance's score is 5 points greater then the points earned by Terrance's in the test is represented by :
[tex]\bf\frac{4}{5}\cdot t+ 5.......(1)[/tex]
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 :
[tex]\bf 77\geq \frac{4}{5}\cdot t+ 5[/tex]
