Question

Nine members of a band want to order matching T-shirts without spending more than $144. What is the solution of the inequality representing their situation. Use t as the variable.%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AA.%0D%0At < 16%0D%0A%0D%0AB.%0D%0At > 16%0D%0A%0D%0AC.%0D%0At ≤ 16%0D%0A%0D%0AD.%0D%0At ≥ 16

Answer 1

C. t ≤ 16

Explanation: Since the band wants to order matching T-shirts without spending more than $144, the total cost should be less than or equal to $144. The total cost for t T-shirts is given by the inequality: 9t ≤ 144. This simplifies to t ≤ 16, which means the band can order 16 or fewer T-shirts to stay within their budget.
