Alicia cashed her paycheck and used half her earnings to take three friends to dinner. She spent $42.15 on dinner and she brought home more than $20.00. Write an inequality to represent the situation, using x to represent the amount of Alicia's paycheck

If you would like to write an inequality to represent the situation, you can do this using the following steps:

x ... the amount of Alicia's paycheck

x/2 - $42.15 > = $20

x/2 > = $20 + $42.15

x/2 > = $62.15 / * 2

x > = $62.15 * 2

x > = $124.3

The correct result would be x > = $124.3.
