Question

Florence has at most $60 to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $22 dollars and spend the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $8. Write an inequality for the number of t-shirts she can purchase.

Answer 1

Answer: 22 + 8x is less than or equal to 60

Step-by-step explanation: She can spend as much as she wants until she reaches 60. She wants to use 22 on jeans and the rest on shirts. The shirts will be represented by 8x because we don't know how many she will buy. It just can't surpass 60.
