Question

Austin has $75 to spend on sporting goods. He wants to buy a soccer ball for $12 and spend the rest of the

money on soccer shorts. Each pair of soccer shorts costs $19. Which inequality can be used to find s, the
number of pairs of soccer shorts he can buy?
a. 12 + 195 $ 75
c. 19 + 12s < 75
b. 12 +195 2 75
d. 19 + 12s 275

Answer 1

s = 3 He can only but up to 3 pairs of shorts, with 3 dollars left over.

Answer is 12 + 3s <= 75

Explanation:

$75 - $12 = $63

$63 / $19 = $3.3157894 about 3

$3 * $19 = $57

$57 + $12 = $69

$72 - $69 = $3
