The correct inequality for this situation would be:
c) 99x + 84 ≤ 1,150
This inequality represents the total cost of the watches and shirts not exceeding Samantha's total savings of $1,150.
Samantha wants to use her savings of $1,150 to buy shirts and watches for her family. The total price of the shirts she bought was $84. The watches cost $99 each. Choose the inequality that would be used to solve for the maximum number of watches Samantha can buy with her savings.
a 99 + 84x ≤ 1,150
b 99x + 84 ≥ 1,150
c 99x + 84 ≤ 1,150
d 99 + 84x ≥ 1,150
