The 12 members of the team want to order matching T-shirts without spending more than $216. What's the inequality and the amount representing their situation? t is the cost for one shirt

Answer 1

Let x be the cost for one shirt.

The total cost for 12 shirts will be 12x.

Since the team does not want to spend more than $216, we have the following inequality:
12x ≤ 216

Dividing both sides by 12:
x ≤ 18

So the inequality representing the situation is:
x ≤ 18

Therefore, each shirt should not cost more than $18 for the team to order matching T-shirts without spending more than $216.
