Demetrius can spend as much as $50 on shirts.

Question

Shirts, x. cost $16 each at a nearby store.

Which inequality represents this situation?

50x ≤ 16

50x ≥ 16

16x ≥ 50

16x ≤ 50

Answer 1

The correct inequality that represents the situation is:

$16x\le 50$

This indicates that the total cost of the shirts (which is $16$ dollars per shirt times the number of shirts $x$) cannot exceed $50$ dollars.
