Geraldo has a coupon for 12 dollars off the total bill at a local restaurant. Geraldo does not want to spend more than 65 dollars The inequality x minus 12 is less than or equal to 65 represents the situation. What will be included in the solution set in the context of the problem?

Solve the inequality x − 12 ≤ 65 by adding 12 to both sides: x ≤ 77. In context, x is the restaurant bill before the coupon, so it cannot be negative. The solution set is all positive bill amounts less than or equal to $77, which is choice B.
