Question

Cal is buying T-shirts and shorts. T-shirts cost $12 and shorts cost $25. He plans on spending no more than $160 and wants to buy at least 5 items. Write a system of linear inequalities that represent the situation.

Answer 1

12t (that's the $12 for a shirt) + 25s (25 dollars for shorts) < (or equal too) 126
The combination cost for the shirts and shorts has to be less than or equal to $126

t + s > (or equal too) 5

The total number of items has to be greater then or equal too or equal to 5
