Lisa has $150 at most to spend on clothes. she wants to buy a pair of jeans for $58 and will spend the rest on t-shirts that cost $14 each. create an inequality to represent the number of t-shirts that lisa can purchase?

The inequality to represent the number of t-shirts that Lisa can purchase is 14t + 58 < 150

Solution:

Given that amount Lisa can spent = 150

She wants to buy pair of jeans for $ 58.

Will spend remaining on t-shirt that cost $14 each.

Let’s number of t-shirt she can purchase be represented by variable t.

So price of "t" t-shirts = $14 x t = 14t

So total expense will be represented by price of "t" t-shirts + price of pair of jeans  

=> Total expense = 14t + 58

The above amount must always be less than 150.

=> 14t + 58 < 150

Hence inequality 14t + 58 < 150 is required expression where t is number of t-shirts Lisa can purchase.
