Question

Josh has a $250 gift card to Under Armour.

He plans to buy as many pairs of shorts as he
can. The cost of each pair is $22.50. There is also
a single shipping charge of $6.50. How many
pairs of shorts can he afford without spending
more than his gift card amount? Write the
inequality, then solve, and state your answer.

Answer 1

10 pairs

22.50x+6.50<_250

Explanation:

If you do 22.50 times 10 you get 225 then you add 6.50 which would give you 231.50. You cant add any more pairs of shoes because you would go over the $250 limit. For example if you added 22.50 one more time you would be at 254. Therefore it would be 10 pairs of shoes.

Answer 2

8 pairs

Explanation:

250/29 = 8.6

so 8 is the answer cause you probably can't cut them in half
