Answer:

4.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of t-shirts that Maya can buy.

We have been given that Maya is taking her friends to a concert each ticket costs $25 and souvenir t-shirts are $12 each.

Since 1 t-shirt costs $12, so cost of x t-shirts wold be 12x.

We have been given that Maya bought 3 tickets, so amount spent on 3 tickets would be
\$25* 3=\$75.

We are also told that there is a $4 service fee for the entire purchase, so we can represent our given information in an inequality as:


12x+75+3\leq 130


12x+78\leq 130


12x+78-78\leq 130-78


12x\leq 52


(12x)/(12)\leq (52)/(12)


x\leq 4.33333

Therefore, the maximum number of t-shirts that Maya can buy is 4.
