Question

Jane wants to buy shirts for $15 each and a belt for $10. She has $55 total. Write an equation to determine how many t-shirts she can buy.

Answer 1

t=10b+15s-55

Explanation:

Determine the variables.

b=belts. s=shirts. t=total. 55 is the limit, so subtract from the total equation.

Use this to create the equation.
