Question

Chet Needs To But 4 work shirts,all costing the same amount.after he uses a $25 gift certificate, he can spend no more than $75.Write an inequality to find the possible cost for a shirt.Identify what your variable represents?

Answer 1

4x < $75

*I did not consider the GC of $25 because Chet already spent it before buying 4 work shirts. His budget for the work shirts is only $75.

4x < $ 75
÷4 ÷4
x < $18.75

Each shirt must cost a maximum of $18.75 so that Chet will not go over budget. Any work shirt bought with a price lower than $18.75 will be better for Chet, budget wise.
