Answer:

Daniel can buy 1 shirt

Explanation:

We can write an equation out of what they give us in the question.

Each shirt is $20, this can be represented as 20s.

All shipping on orders cost $10.99, this can be represented as 10.99s.

S represents how many shirts Daniel will buy.

The equation is written out like this:

$20s + 10.99s \leq 50$

Combine like terms:

$30.99s \leq 50\\$

Now solve

$s \leq 1.6$

Therefore, if Daniel can only buy one shirt if he has only $50 to spend.

We can't have 2 shirts because that would exceed the $50 limit.

Hope this helps!!
