Answer:

Alicia's Paycheck = x

Took half money for dinner x/2

She spent $42.15 on dinner and she brought home more than $20.00.

x/2 - $42.15 > $20.00

=> x/2 > $62.15

=> x > $124.3

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x}{2}-42.15>20.00[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of Alicia's paycheck

Alicia set aside the other half to take her friends out to dinner.i.e.[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

She spent $42.15 on dinner

So, Remaining amount = [tex]\frac{x}{2}-42.15[/tex]

Now we are given that he brought home more than $20.00.

So, [tex]\frac{x}{2}-42.15>20.00[/tex]

Hence an inequality to represent the situation, using x to represent the amount of Alicia’s paycheck is [tex]\frac{x}{2}-42.15>20.00[/tex]
