Question

Morgan has $60 to spend on clothes. He wants to buy a pair of jeans for $25 and spend the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $5. Which inequality represents the number of t-shirts he can purchase?

A: x ≥ 7
B: x ≤ 16
C: x ≤ 7
D: x ≥ 16

Answer 1

the answer is A cause if you multiply 7 by 5 you get 35 and add 35 by 25 you get 60

Answer 2

Morgan has $60.

$60 - $25 = $35

$35/$5 = 7

The value of x CANNOT be greater than 7 but certainly equal to 7.

Answer: : x ≤ 7
