Question

The soccer team is conducting a fundraiser selling long-sleeved t-shirts for $14 and short-sleeved t-shirts for $10. So far the team has sold less than $200 worth of the two types of t-shirts. Which inequality best represents x, the number of long-sleeved t-shirts they have sold, and y, the number of short-sleeved t-shirts they have sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number of long-sleeved shirts and each of these cost $14, then the expression for that is 14x; likewise for short-sleeved shirts that are represented by y. The expression for short-sleeved shirts that cost $10 apiece is 10y. Putting that together with the fact that they earned less than $200 when selling these at the same time, the inequality is

14x + 10y < 200
