Question

you have at most $20.25 to spend at a store. Shirts cost $11.50 each, and pants cost $16 each. Let s be numbers of shirts and p be number of pants. Write an inequality that represents the numbers of shirts and pants you can afford. DO NOT INCLUDE THE DOLLAR SIGN IN YOU INEQUALITY. An inequality is______

Answer 1

is this an algebra class? if so it just

11.50x + 16y = 20.25

Answer 2

The required inequality expression is : 20.25 <= (11.50s + 16p)

Using the parameters given for our Calculation;

• Amount to spend = 20.25
• cost of shirt = 11.50
• cost of pant = 16
• Number of shirt = s
• Number of pants = p

The total cost <= (Cost of shirt * Number of shirt ) + (Cost of pant * Number of pants)

20.25 <= (11.50s + 16p)

Therefore, the required inequality is : 20.25 <= (11.50s + 16p)
