I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The inequality that could be used to determine the amount you have left to spend would be x+15 is less than or equal to 60. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Let

x--------> the amount you have left to spend

y--------> the cost of a shirt you want

z------> the amount of the gift card

we know that

[tex] x+y \leq z [/tex] --------> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] y=\$ 15 [/tex] --------> equation [tex] 2 [/tex]

[tex] z=\$ 60 [/tex] --------> equation [tex] 3 [/tex]

Substitute the equation [tex] 2 [/tex] and equation [tex] 3 in the equation [tex] 1 [/tex] [/tex]

[tex] x+y \leq z [/tex]

[tex] x+15 \leq 60 [/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option

x+15 is less than or equal to 60
