To solve this problem, we start with the total amount Anna has, which is \( \$ 65 \). Since the cost of the dress and shoes is more than \( \$ 50 \), we can express this as \( d + s > 50 \), where \( d \) is the cost of the dress, and \( s \) is the cost of the shoes. Now, the amount she can spend on accessories \( p \) can be found by subtracting the cost of the dress and shoes from her total amount: \[ p = 65 - (d + s) \] Since \( d + s > 50 \), we can write: \[ p < 65 - 50 \] \[ p < 15 \] Thus, the correct inequality representing the dollar amount Anna can spend on accessories is \( p < 15 \). The answer is D) \( p < 15 \). So, only \( \$ 15 \) or less can go towards accessories if she spends over \( \$ 50 \) on the dress and shoes!
