答案:B
解析:
Choice B is correct. Karim's total meal cost consists of three parts: Karim's pretax bill, the tax, and the tip, all added together. That amount will need to be less than or equal to Karim's gift card amount.
Since c represents the cost, in dollars, of the pretax bill, it should be multiplied by 0.143 (the tax in decimal form). Since Karim has decided to tip $5, the total meal cost can be represented by the expression space c+0.143c+5.
Next, combine like c terms to get 1.143c. So, the final inequality for Karim's situation is 1.143c+5≤35.
