Please help !!

I need it as fast as posible! Maya is taking a trip to the mall to purchase some new clothes. She
can afford spending up to $180. If she wants to buy a pair of shoes
that cost $49.50 and a variety of shirts that cost $22.99 each, how
many shirts can Maya afford?

Subtract the 49.50 from the 180
130.5
Then divide by the cost of the shirts
130.5/22.99= 5.67
Round down since you can’t buy a fraction of a shirt and your answer is 5
