Jay and Liam are buying clothes.

Part A
Jay wants to spend less than $\$80$ . He plans to buy a pair of jeans that cost $\$19.99$ and some shirts that cost $\$14.99$ each.

Write an equation or inequality to represent the number of shirts Jay can buy. Define all variables used.
What is the greatest number of shirts that Jay can buy while spending less than $\$80$ ? Show your work.
Respond in the space provided.

To find the greatest number of shirts Jay can buy while speding less than $80, we solve the inequaity for $:
$19.99 + 14.99x < 80$
$14.99x < 80 - 19.99$
$14.99x < 60.01$
$< 4$
Question 2
Part B
Liam buys a pair of jeans that cost $\$29.99$ and $5$ shirts that each cost the same amount of money. He spends a total of $\$94.94$ .

Answer 1

To determine the cost of each shirt that Liam buys, we let the cost of each shirt be represented by $x$. Then, we can write the equation:

$29.99 + 5x = 94.94$

Subtracting $29.99$ from both sides, we get:

$5x = 64.95$

Dividing by 5, we find:

$x = 12.99$

Therefore, the cost of each shirt that Liam buys is $\$12.99$.
