Question

DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS!!!

Answer 1

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.
