Demetrius can spend as much as `$50` on shirts.

Question

Shirts, `s`, cost `$16` each at a nearby store.
Which inequality represents this situation??

Answer 1

To represent the situation where Demetrius can spend as much as $50 on shirts that cost $16 each, we can set up the following inequality:

Let $s$ be the number of shirts he buys. The total cost for $s$ shirts is given by the expression $16s$.

Since Demetrius can spend up to $50, we can write the inequality as:

$$16s\le 50$$

This inequality states that the total cost of the shirts ($16s$) must be less than or equal to $50.
