Answer: $ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given inequality,
15 ( 17 + y ) ≤ 300
Where, 15 is the total number of person,
17 is the price of each shirt
300 is the given budget for purchasing
And, y is the rice of each pair of socks.
Thus, the maximum price of a pair of socks will be get by solving the above inequality,
15 ( 17 + y ) ≤ 300
⇒ 15 × 17 + 15 y ≤ 300
⇒ 255 + 15 y ≤ 300
⇒ 15 y ≤ 300 - 255 (by subtracting 255 n both sides)
⇒ 15 y ≤ 45
⇒ y ≤ 3 (dividing both sides by 15)
Thus, the maximum value of y is 3.
⇒ $ 3 could be spent on each pair of socks if the shirt of price $17 is bought.
