Jane wants to buy

T
-
shirts at $12 each and dresses at $30 each. If Jane has a budget of 150
dollars, how many dresses can she buy if 5 T
-
shirts are bought?

(5 * 12) + 30d < 150

what does < mean? Ms.Sue?

< means less than.

Solve this the same way you'd solve an equation with an equal sign.

Ms.Sue so its 30d-150?

No.

(5 * 12) + 30d < 150

60 + 30d < 150

Subtract 60 from both sides.

I don't quite understand when u say subtract 60 from both sides can you please explain

You need to isolate the variable. Also, remember that subtraction is the opposite of addition.

is the answer 3?

Yes. She can buy 3 dresses.

Thanks!
