If Hannah spends at least $16 on 4 packages of coffee, which of the following inequalities represents the possible costs?

  • A. 16 ≥ 4p
  • B. 16 < 4p
  • C. 16 > 4p
  • D. 16 ≤ 4p
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To represent the relationship between the number of packages of coffee and the minimum cost, the inequality can be written as 4p ≥ 16 (cost is at least $16). This inequality can also be expressed as 16 ≤ 4p, which reads as the cost being less than or equal to $16. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (16 ≥ 4p) implies that the cost can be greater than or equal to $16, which does not align with the statement that Hannah spends at least $16. Choice B (16 < 4p) suggests that the cost is less than $16, which contradicts the given information. Choice C (16 > 4p) indicates that the cost is greater than $16, which is not accurate based on the scenario provided.
