Answer:
[tex]0.5x-42.15>20[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represents the amount of Alicia’s paycheck.
Alicia set aside the other half to take her friends out to dinner. That means she took 0.5x with her for dinner.
She spent 42.15 on dinner and brought home more than 20.00.
So, the inequality will be :
[tex]0.5x-42.15>20[/tex]
Solving for x;
=> [tex]0.5x>20+42.15[/tex]
=> [tex]0.5x>62.15[/tex]
x > 124.30
