Answer: Let x be the number of shirts that David buys.

The cost of the shirts can be represented by the equation: $15x.

The total amount of money that David has spent can be represented by the equation: $32.25 + $15x.

Since David has a total of $65 to spend, we can write the inequality:

$32.25 + $15x ≤ $65

Solving for x, we get:

$15x ≤ $65 - $32.25 = $32.75

$15x ≤ $32.75

$x ≤ $32.75 / $15 = 2.183333

Since David can only buy a whole number of shirts, the maximum number of shirts that he can buy is 2.

So, the maximum number of shirts David can buy is 2.
