Question

Sam has $65 to spend on clothes. He wants to buy a pair of jeans for $29 and spend the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $9. Which inequality represents the number of t-shirts he can purchase?

x ≥ 4
x ≤ 9
x ≥ 9
x ≤ 4

Answer 1

money >= jeans + tshirts

65 >= 29 + 9* number of shirts

subtract 29 from each side

36> =9 *number of shirts

divide by 9 on each side

4 > =number of shirts

He can buy 4 or less shirts
