After paying $4.76 for a sandwich, Michelle has $16.88. How much money did she start with?

$21.64

Step-by-step explanation:

original amount = spent + remaining

original amount = 4.76 + 16.88

= $21.64

Michelle started with $21.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we simply need to add he current price, or $16.88, to the amount she spent, or $4.76.

16.88 + 4.76 = $21.64

Therefore, Michelle started with $21.64.

Hope this helps! :D

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
