Answer 2

Answer:
`15s<200`

Explanation:

Given : A high school coach wants to buy new athletic shorts for $15 per member of the basketball team.

Let s represents the number of shorts .

Then, the cost of s shorts = 15 s (1)

The coach must spend less than $200 on the shorts.

i.e.
`15s<200` [From (1)]

Hence, the inequality represent how many pairs of shorts,s,the coach can buy

`15s<200`

Divide both sides by 15 , we get

`s<(200)/(15)\\\\ s<13.33`

i.e. the cost of each short must be less than $13.33.
