Jeremy has $20 to spend. He wants to buy some t-shirts that cost $6.25 each.

Part A: Write and inequality to find out how many t-shirts Jermey can buy. Identify any variables you include.

Part B: Solve the inequality. At most, how many t-shirts can Jermey buy?

Answer 1

Part A: X less than or equal to $20

X is the total amount of the money for each shirt.

Part B: At most, Jeremy can buy 3 shirts

Answer 2

Part A) 20 ≤ 6.25x

x= the amount of shirts bought

Part B) Jermey can buy no more than 3 shirts

Explanation:

20 ≤ 6.25x devide: 20/6.25

20/6.25=3.2 . Obviously we want the whole shirt so round to 3. He can only buy 3 or less
