Answer: 3 pairs of jeans and 5 shirts = $90

Explanation:

You must purchase at least three pairs of jeans

One pair of jeans costs $15

Three pairs of jeans cost 3*$15 = $45

You have left over $90-$45 = $45 to spend

A shirt costs $9

So you can purchase $45/$9/shirt = 5 shirts

You can buy three pairs of jeans and five shirts to spend $90

Answer: 3 pairs of jeans and 5 shirts = $90
