Question

a customer gets free shipping when the cost of a purchase at an online store is more than $35. which inequality represents the amounts in dollars d a customer must spend to get free shipping?
a) d < 35
b) d > 35
c) d ≤ 35
d) d ≥ 35

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

The problem states that a customer gets free shipping when the cost of purchase \( d \) (in dollars) is more than \( \$35 \). We need to find the correct inequality for \( d \).

Step2: Analyze the inequality symbols

• Option A: \( d < 35 \) means the cost is less than 35, which is not free shipping.
• Option B: \( d > 35 \) means the cost is more than 35, which matches the condition for free shipping.
• Option C: \( d \leq 35 \) means the cost is less than or equal to 35, not free shipping.
• Option D: \( d \geq 35 \) means the cost is greater than or equal to 35, but the problem says "more than" (not including 35), so this is not correct.

Answer:

B) \( d > 35 \)
