The 8 members of a band to order matching t shirts without spending more than 136 what is the solution of an inequality

1 answer

Let x be the cost of each matching t-shirt. The total cost of 8 matching t-shirts would be 8x.

So, the inequality representing the total cost not exceeding 136 would be:

8x ≤ 136

Dividing by 8 on both sides to isolate x:

x ≤ 136/8

x ≤ 17

Therefore, each matching t-shirt should cost no more than $17 for the band to order them without exceeding a total cost of 136.
