Moshe Hood · Answer 1

D. $9x + $32 < $122

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

x is the number of visits

$9 is the cost per visit

$32 is the monthly dues

the amount she pays each month

= monthly dues + (cost per visit x number of visits)

= 32 + 9x (rearrange)

= 9x + 32

given that she does not wish to spend more than $122, that means she wants to spend LESS than $122, i. e

amount spent < $122

or

9x + 32 < 122 (answer D)
