Question

Lionel wants to buy a belt that costs $22. He also wants to buy some shirts that are on sale for $17 each. He has $80. What inequality can you write to find the number of shirts he can buy? identify what your variable represents

Answer 1

Inequality would be: 22 + 17x ≤ 80
Where, x = Number of shirts, that he can buy

Solving: 17x ≤ 58
x ≤ 58/17
x ≤ 3.41

In short, He can buy 3 shirts only.

Hope this helps!
