Answer 1

Answer: 4 Shirts

Explanation:

Given

Person has
`\$80`

Pant costs
`\$29` and shirt costs
`\$12`

Suppose
`x\ \text{and}\ y` as number of pant and shirts

Spent money must be equal or less than the total money. The inequality becomes

`\Rightarrow 80\geq29x+12y`

For 1 pair of pants that is, 1 pants

`\Rightarrow 80\geq 29+12y\\\Rightarrow 51\geq 12y\\\Rightarrow 4.25\geq y`

That is maximum number of shirts that can be bought are 4.
