Answer 1

Since you didn't give the options, I can only give you some advice and help on the problem.

Since 22 is his limit, we want statements that mean 22 or less.

It could be "at most 22".

It could be "no more than 22".

It could be "less than or equal to 22"

It could be "up to and including 22."

Answer 2

15% of 25 is 3.75 so then you have to subtract that from 25

25-3.75=21.25

Then 30% off 32 is 22.4 which is to much

19.65+2.35=22 which is the exact price

20.45+1.60=22.05 which is also to much

Out of all the answers, A is the best choice because it is the least price for the shirt
