Lisa brought half of her savings to the bakery and bought 12 croissants for $14.20. the amount of money she brings home with her is more than $2.00. use an inequality to find how much money she had in her savings before going to the bakery. (write the inequality that represents the situation, and solve it.)

Before going to the bakery, Lisa had more than $32.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x be Lisa´s savings.

She brings half of her savings to the bakery and expends $14.20. What is left is more than $2.00. Then:

x/2 - 14.2 > 2

Let´s solve the inequality:

x/2 - 14.2 > 2

Add 14.2 to both sides of the inequality.

x/2 > 2 + 14.2

x/2 > 16.2

Multiply by 2 both sides of the inequality.

x > 32.4

Before going to the bakery, Lisa had more than $32.40.
