Question 1
Part A:
Let $x$ be the number of shirts Jay buys. The total amount Jay spends is given by the equation $19.99 + 14.99x < 80$.
To find the greatest number of shirts Jay can buy while spending less than $\$80$, we solve the inequality for $x$:
$19.99 + 14.99x < 80$
$14.99x < 80 - 19.99$
$14.99x < 60.01$
$x < \frac{60.01}{14.99}$
$x < 4$
Therefore, Jay can buy a maximum of 4 shirts while spending less than $\$80$.
Question 2
Part B:
Let $y$ be the cost of each shirt Liam buys. The total amount Liam spends is given by the equation $29.99 + 5y = 94.94$.
To find the cost of each shirt that Liam buys, we solve the equation for $y$:
$29.99 + 5y = 94.94$
$5y = 94.94 - 29.99$
$5y = 64.95$
$y = \frac{64.95}{5}$
$y = 12.99$
Therefore, the cost of each shirt that Liam buys is $\$12.99$.
