Answer :

MrRoyal

The least and the greatest amounts are $98 and $112

How to determine the least and the greatest amounts?

The food budget is modeled by 0.5|x - 110| = 6

So, we have:

0.5|x - 110| = 6

Divide both sides by 0.5

|x - 110| = 12

Remove the absolute bracket

x - 110 = 12 and x - 110 = -12

Add 110 to both sides

x = 112 and x = 98

Hence, the least and the greatest amounts are $98 and $112
