Demetrius can spend as much as `\$50` on shirts.

Question

Shirts, `s`, cost `\$16` each at a nearby store.
Which inequality represents this situation??

Answer 1

To represent the situation where Demetrius can spend as much as $50 on shirts that cost $16 each, we can set up the following inequality:

Let \( s \) be the number of shirts he buys. The total cost for \( s \) shirts is given by the expression \( 16s \).

Since Demetrius can spend up to $50, we can write the inequality as:

\[ 16s \leq 50 \]

This inequality states that the total cost of the shirts (\( 16s \)) must be less than or equal to $50.
