D 15s >(with line under)200

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 15s < 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let s be the cost of each short.

Shorts price for 15 members of the basketball team is 15s.

The budget is $200 and he have 15 members.

Now, use the less than sign as coach can spend less than $200.

Answer 2

If $200 is the maximum a coach can spend on new shorts, and needs at least 15 shorts, then you could divide or use an inequality. first take the maximum number (200) and the minimum amount (15s) and use the minimum and maximum signs of knowledge to form an inequality. you should end up with 15s<200.
