Answer:

6 shirts

Explanation:

Let's first start by finding how much money she has left after buying the jeans:

$240-$95=$145

If each shirt is $22.50 we can divide $145 by $22.50 to see how many shirts she can buy:

$145/$22.50=6.44 shirts

This means she can buy 6 shirts without going over the budget
