A publisher estimates their costs of publishing a book is from $980,000 to $1,240,000. So far, they have spent $824,000. Which compound inequality correctly expresses how much more the publisher can spend?$155,850 ≥ x ≤ $415,850$155,850 ≤ x ≥ $415,850$155,850 ≥ x ≥ $415,850$155,850 ≤ x ≤ $415,850

The least amount the publisher can spend is:
980,000 - 824,000 = 156,000

The greatest amount the publisher can spend is:
1,240,000 - 824,000 = 416,000

The range of amount the publisher is left to spend is given by:
156,000 ≤ x ≤ 416,000
