Question

Florencia cannot spend more than $60 on clothes. She wants to buy jeans for $22 and spend the rest on shirts. Each shirt costs $8. Write and inequality to describe this situation.

Answer 1

(8s + 22) ≤ 60

Explanation:

Let the number of shirts Florencia bought = s

Cost of one shirt = $8

Therefore, total cost of the 's' shirts= $8s

She bought a jeans for $22 and rest amount she spent on shirts.

Total expenditure = $(8s + 22)

Since, she can not exceed her expenditure beyond $60.

So the inequality will be,

(8s + 22) ≤ 60
