Question

Lee has $220 to spend on shirts at $22 each and pants $38 each. what inequality represents the possible number of shirts and pants that he can buy? find atleast three possible solutions. can the solutions include negative numbers?

Answer 1

The inequality that models the given situation is:

y*$22 + x*$38 ≤ $220

And some solutions are (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2).

Which inequality models the given situation?

To find the inequality, we first need to define the variables that we will use, the variables are:

• x = number of pants bought.
• y = number of shirts bought.

Knowing the price of each individual item, the total cost will be given by:

C = y*$22 + x*$38

And Lee has $220 to spend, so the maximum amount that he can spend is $220, then we have the inequality:

y*$22 + x*$38 ≤ $220

Now, to find solutions you just need to find some values of x and y that make the inequality true, for example, one solution is x = 1 and y = 1.

1*$22 + 1*$38 ≤ $220

$60 ≤ $220

This is true, so (1, 1) is a solution.

Another solutions are (2, 2), (1, 2), (0, 3), etc.
