Answer: 14 shirts

A . s (stands for shirts) <( less then or equal to) 14

B. because it can be exactly 14 shirts or less than 14 shirts depending if oyu want to use all the money

C. 20 would be a solution if you wouldnt have already spent the 80 dollars on other things, since the team did it would be too much money.

Step-by-step explanation:

300- 80 = 220

220/ 15 = 14.6 round 14.6 to 14 (because you cant buy half a shirt)

you can get 14 shirts
