Answer:

A. 15s < 200

Explanation:

Which inequality represents how many pairs of shorts, s, the coach can buy?

A. 15s < 200

B.15s > 200

C. 15s <(with line under)200

D 15s >(with line under)200

Let

s = cost of eat short

Number of students (Short) = 15

Less than (<)

The inequality:

Number of short * cost of each short < $200

15 * s < 200

15s < 200

s < 200/15

s < $13.333333333333
