Answer:the greatest number of shirts she can buy = 8

Explanation:

Amount of money Olivia has =$90

cost of pair of jeans =$22

such that if she buys the pair of jean, Money left to buy shirts = $90-$22= $68

If 1 Shirt= $8

Number of shirts she can buy with $68 = $68/$8= 8.5= 8 1/2

Therefore the greatest number she can buy = 8 shirts.
