1) Angelo, Justin, and Miguel have earned $500 to buy equipment for their band. They have already spent $375 on a used guitar and drum set. They would like to buy T-shirts with the remaining money. If each T-shirt costs $5.00, what is the maximum number of T-shirts can they buy? A) What will be represented as a variable in your inequality? B) What inequality can you write to solve this problem?
Answers
Answer 1
A) maximum number of T-shirts they can buy
B) 375 + 5t = 500
In case they ask you to solve: 375 + 5t = 500 5t = 125 t = 25
They can buy less than or equal to 25 T-shirts . They can buy no more than 25 t shirts
