The correct answer is D) The first inequality should be s + h ≤ 1800.

The organizers made an error in the first inequality. The given inequality 10s + 8h ≤ 1800 represents the total cost of buying shirts (10s) and hats (8h) should be less than or equal to $1800. However, this does not take into account the fact that the organizers want to buy at least 5 times as many shirts as hats, as indicated by the second inequality h ≥ 5s.

The correct way to represent this constraint is by using the equation s + h ≤ 1800, which ensures that the total number of shirts and hats purchased does not exceed $1800 in cost. This is because the organizers want to make sure that the total cost of shirts and hats combined does not exceed the budget of $1800.

C

The mistake the arrangers made is in the second inequality. They considered the number of caps to be bought should be at least 5 times greater than the number of blouses, not the other way around. The correct inequality should be C
