Kareendeep has $168.50 in her bank account. She buys x shirts for $5.5o each. Write and solve an equation Kareendeep can use to find how many shirts she can buy. (Write equation put a space then write the solution)

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation: 5.5x = 168.5

Solution: 30 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create the equation where x is the number of shirts.

Since each shirt is $5.50, the cost of the shirts will be 5.50x

Set this equal to 168.50, since that is how much money Kareendeep has.

So, the equation will be 5.5x = 168.5

Now, solve this for x, the number of shirts she can buy:

5.5x = 168.5

Divide each side by 5.5

x = 30.6

Since we can only have a whole number of shirts, she can only buy 30 shirts.

So, the answer is 30 shirts.
