Question

Lionel wants to buy a belt that costs $22. He also wants to buy some shirt that are on sales for $7 each. He has $80. What inequality can you write to find the number of shirt he can buy. Identify what your variable represent.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Inequality would be: 22 + 17x ≤ 80

Where, x = Number of shirts, that he can buy

Solving: 17x ≤ 58

x ≤ 58/17

x ≤ 3.41

In short, He can buy 3 shirts only.
