The cost of the T-shirt is $\$10$ and Makeeya has $\$25$ to spend. This leaves $25 - 10 = \$15$ for the design. Since the cost is $\$1.50$ per square inch of design, Makeeya can have $\frac{15}{1.5} = 10$ square inches of design on her T-shirt.
So the correct solution is $x \leq 10$, which is represented by choice C.
Makeeya only has $\$25$ to spend on a custom T-shirt. It costs $\$10$ for a plain T-shirt, and there is a charge of $\$1.50$ for each square inch of design added to the T-shirt.
Which solution represents the number of square inches of design, $x$ , Makeeya can put on her T-shirt?
