Answer 1

To represent the situation using an inequality, we need to consider the total cost of the T-shirts for all 8 members of the band.

The total cost can be calculated as:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 8t \]

where \( t \) is the cost of one shirt.

Since the band wants to spend no more than $136, we can set up the inequality:

\[ 8t \leq 136 \]

This inequality represents the condition that the total cost of the T-shirts must be less than or equal to $136.
