Let
x = the number of shorts bought
y = the number of t-shirts bought
A pair of shorts costs $16 and a t-shirt costs $10. Brandom has $100 to spend.
Therefore
16x + 10y ≤ 100
This may be written as
y ≤ - 1.6x + 10 (1)
Brandon wants at least 2 pairs of shorts. Therefore
x ≥ 2 (2)
Graph the equations y = -1.6x + 10 and x = 2.
The shaded region satisfies both inequalities.
Answer:
Two possible solutions are
(a) 3 pairs of shorts and 4 t-shirts,
(b) 4 pairs of shorts and 2 t-shirts.
