6. Jackie has n nickels and q quarters in her pocket. The total value of the coins is at least $24.75. Write an inequality that represents how many nickels and quarters Jackie has in her pocket in the space below.
The inequality that represents how many nickels and quarters Jackie has in her pocket would be:
$24.75 ≤ n + q
The key phrase “at least” lets us know that the lowest amount that Jackie can have is $24.75. We don’t know the quantities of nickels and quarters in this situation, so we keep variables n and q.
