Gerard has spent less than 1/2 of his lunch money.

Answer:  The correct option is

(A) Gerard has spent less than [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] of his lunch money.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Gerard has $30 to spend on lunches this month that costs him $1.50 each day.

We are to find the correct statement after Gerard buys lunch for 8 days.

We have

Cost of Lunch for one day = $1.50.

So, cost of lunch for 8 days will be

[tex]\$(1.50\times 8)=\$12.[/tex]

That is, Gerard has spent $12 of his lunch money in 8 days.

Also, the total amount of money Gerard has for lunch = $30.

So, half of the lunch money will be

[tex]\dfrac{30}{2}=\$15.[/tex]

Since, 12 < 15, so Gerard has spent less than [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] of his lunch money.

Thus, option (A) is correct.
