Answer:


8x + 12y <\:100

Explanation:

  • For shirts:

  • Cost of one shirt = $8

  • Number of shirts = x

  • Total cost of x shirts = 8x

  • For shorts:

  • Cost of one short = $12

  • Number of shorts = y

  • Total cost of y shorts = 12y

  • Total cost of x shirts and y shorts = 8x + 12y

  • It is given that: buyor has to spend less than $100.

  • Thus, the total cost of x shirts and y shorts will be < 100. In mathematical form, it can be expressed as given below.


  • 8x + 12y <\:100
