Write an inequality to represent each situation.

1. You have $500 to buy a new gaming system. The system costs $250 and each game costs $60. What is the most games you can buy?
2. Frank has at most $60 to spend on clothes. He wants to buy a pair of jeans for $22 and spend the rest on shirts which cost $8 each. What is the maximum number of shirts he can buy?

Answer 1

You can buy a maximum of 4 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum number of games you can buy, you need to determine how much money is left after buying the gaming system. The gaming system costs $250, so you subtract that from the $500 you have. This leaves you with $250. Then, you can divide the remaining money by the cost of each game, which is $60. This gives you the maximum number of games as:

(Amount of money remaining) / (Cost of each game) = (Maximum number of games)

Maximum number of games = $250 / $60 = 4 games

Therefore, you can buy a maximum of 4 games.
