there are 25 students in the class. ms. clark already has 3 shirts. she will buy shirts in packages of 6 shirts. she cannot buy part of a package. create an inequality using only the given numbers to represent the situation, where p representa the numbers of package of shirts.

Answer 1

6p-3 ≥ 25

Add 3 to both sides
6p≥ 28

Divide both sides by 6
P≥4.7

So she would need to get 5 packs of shirts and have 2 extra shirts
