Solve for the variable in the following proportion.
is to 1
as 2 is to b
b=

b=10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4: 1 1/4 = 1/4 : 5/4 = 1:5

1:5 = 2:b

1*b = 5*2

b = 10

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
