Algebra practice question

Kim needs more than $50 to buy a game. If m is the amount, in dollars, that Kim needs, which inequality describes m?

  1. A. m > 50Correct
  2. B. m ≥ 50
  3. C. m < 50
  4. D. m ≤ 50

Answer: A. m > 50

"More than 50" excludes 50 itself: m > 50.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. m ≥ 50
≥ would include exactly $50.
C. m < 50
This says less than 50.
D. m ≤ 50
This says at most 50.
