Question

DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS!!!

You are responsible for purchasing uniforms for the members of your softball team. The uniform consists of a matching shirt and socks. Your budget is $300 – you cannot spend more than that amount.
The formula n(x + y) ≤ 300 can be used to determine the cost of the uniforms, where x is the price of each shirt, y is the price of each pair of socks, and n is the number of players.
So far, there are 15 people who have tried out for the team, and the coach plans on keeping everyone who tried out.

1. You first get a quote from a local print shop, since they have a reputation for quality merchandise and community support. They charge $17 per shirt (after tax).
15(17 + y) ≤ 300

Using the formula, determine the most you could spend on each pair of socks if you bought this shirt.

Answer 1

Answer: $ 3

Explanation:

Here, the given inequality,

15 ( 17 + y ) ≤ 300

Where, 15 is the total number of person,

17 is the price of each shirt

300 is the given budget for purchasing

And, y is the rice of each pair of socks.

Thus, the maximum price of a pair of socks will be get by solving the above inequality,

15 ( 17 + y ) ≤ 300

⇒ 15 × 17 + 15 y ≤ 300

⇒ 255 + 15 y ≤ 300

⇒ 15 y ≤ 300 - 255 (by subtracting 255 n both sides)

⇒ 15 y ≤ 45

⇒ y ≤ 3 (dividing both sides by 15)

Thus, the maximum value of y is 3.

⇒ $ 3 could be spent on each pair of socks if the shirt of price $17 is bought.
