Deidre has $100 to spend on new clothes. She knows she wants to buy a pair of jeans for $32 and spend the rest on shirts. If each shirt costs $18, how many shirts can she buy? Which of the following inequalities represents this situation?(1 point)

Question

Responses

18c+32≤100
18 c plus 32 less-than-or-equal-to 100

18c−32≤100
18 c minus 32 less-than-or-equal-to 100

18c+32≥100
18 c plus 32 greater-than-or-equal-to 100

18c+32<100
18 c plus 32 less than 100

Answer 1

To find how many shirts Deidre can buy, we first need to determine how much money she has left after purchasing the jeans.

She has $100 initially and spends $32 on jeans:

\[ 100 - 32 = 68 \]

Now, she has $68 left to spend on shirts, which cost $18 each. If we let \( c \) represent the number of shirts she can buy, we can set up the inequality based on her remaining budget:

\[ 18c \leq 68 \]

Adding the cost of the jeans to the cost of the shirts, we want the total cost to be less than or equal to her budget:

\[ 18c + 32 \leq 100 \]

So, the correct inequality that represents this situation is:

\[ 18c + 32 \leq 100 \]

Therefore, the answer is (1 point):

18c + 32 ≤ 100
