Sasha has $55 to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $27 and spend the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $7. Which inequality represents the number of t-shirts she can purchase?
x ≤ 4************
x ≥ 4
x ≤ 10
x ≥ 10
The ones with asterisks is my guess.
7x <= 55-27
7x <= 28
x <= 4
You are correct
I really need help.
To determine the inequality that represents the number of t-shirts Sasha can purchase, we need to consider her budget.
Sasha has $55 to spend and she wants to buy a pair of jeans for $27. This means she will have $55 - $27 = $28 left to spend on t-shirts.
Each t-shirt costs $7, so we can express the number of t-shirts Sasha can purchase as x, where x represents the number of t-shirts.
The total cost of t-shirts can be calculated as x * $7.
So, the inequality that represents the number of t-shirts Sasha can purchase is:
x * $7 ≤ $28.
Simplifying the inequality, we get:
7x ≤ 28.
Now we can divide both sides of the inequality by 7 to solve for x:
7x/7 ≤ 28/7.
x ≤ 4.
Therefore, the correct inequality is x ≤ 4, which matches your guess.
