Question

Sasha has $90 to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $27 dollars and spend the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $9. Which inequality represents the number of t-shirts she can purchase?

x ≤ 7
x ≥ 7
x ≤ 12
x ≥ 12

Answer 1

x ≤ 7

Explanation:

She has $90

90 - 27 = 63

She has $63 left. Each shirt is $9.

63 / 9 = 7

She can buy 7 shirts. The bests answer is x ≤ 7

Hope this helps have an amazing day! :)

Answer 2

The first inequality is the answer

$90 - $27 = $63
$63 ÷ 7 = $9 each which is what each shirt costs

It cannot be the second one because it will surpass the $63 dollar limit if she got more than 7 shirts.
