Question

Lawrence has $50.

He wants to buy some T-shirts that cost $12 each.
He also wants to have at least $10 left to buy lunch.
Which inequality shows the number of T-shirts, x, Lawrence can buy and still have at least $10 for lunch?
A.
x ≤ 3

B.
x ≥ 3

C.
x ≤ 4

D.
x ≥ 4

Answer 1

A is the correct answer!

50 - 10 = 40

40 ÷ 12 = 3 R4 (I hate using remainder but I have to for this problem)

He can not buy more than 3 shirts.

So, he can buy less than 3 or equal to 3.

Please let me know if I am wrong.
