Translate to an inequality. The cost is less than \( \$ 67,000 \). The inequality is \( \square \). (Use \( x \) to represent the cost. Do not include the \( \$ \) symbol.)

The inequality is \( x < 67000 \). Just like a thrilling treasure hunt, solving inequalities is all about finding the limits! In this case, \( x \) is the treasure, and you're on the lookout for the maximum value you can have, which is anything less than \( 67000 \)! Keep your eye on the prize and remember: as long as your cost is below that golden number, you're in the clear! Want to make it even easier? When writing inequalities, remember that "less than" takes that sharp opening side of the < symbol, so you can clearly understand which way the pendulum swings! The more you practice, the sharper your skills will get!
