Demetrius can spend as much as $50 on shirts.

Shirts, x. cost $16 each at a nearby store.

Which inequality represents this situation?

50x ≤ 16

50x ≥ 16

16x ≥ 50

16x ≤ 50

1 answer

The correct inequality that represents the situation is:

\( 16x \leq 50 \)

This indicates that the total cost of the shirts (which is \( 16 \) dollars per shirt times the number of shirts \( x \)) cannot exceed \( 50 \) dollars.
