Rita has spent $16 so far on gifts. The additional amount she will spend will be less than $14. What are the possible total amounts she will spend?
Rita will spend at least another cent on other gifts above the $16 she spent so far, but no more than $14. Also, the problem says less than 14. 16 + 14 is 30, so that is the top end of her spending.
Let's say her remaining spending is s. Set up the inequality for possible spending values.
16 < s < 30
