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

\(x+y \leq z\) --------> equation \(1\)

\(y=\$ 15\) --------> equation \(2\)

\(z=\$ 60\) --------> equation \(3\)

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

\(x+y \leq z\)

\(x+15 \leq 60\)

therefore

the answer is the option

x+15 is less than or equal to 60
