    Ryan buys candy that costs $4 per pound. He will buy at least 12 pounds of candy. What are the possible amounts he will spend on candy?

    Clue for you: the phrase at least means an inequality.

    Let s be the spend on candy.

    Cost = Price * quantity
    Cost = 4 * 12
    Cost = 48

    The phrase at least means greater than or equal to:
    s >= 48
