Complete Question:

Suppose David has $65 to spend on his ticket and some shirts. He already spent 32.25 on his ticket and fee write an inequality that could be used to find the maximum number of shirts he can buy

Cost of each shirt $ 14.50

Answer:

Inequality that could be used to find the maximum number of shirts he can buy is:

[tex]14.50x\leq 32.75[/tex]

He can buy maximum 2 shirts

Solution:

Given that,

Suppose David has $65 to spend on his ticket and some shirts

He already spent 32.25 on his ticket and fee

Therefore,

Remaining money = 65 - 32.25

Remaining money = 32.75

So, he can spend less than or equal to $ 32.75 on buying shirts

Since, cost of each shirt is $ 14.50,

The inequality is framed as:

[tex]14.50 \times x\leq 32.75\\\\14.50x\leq 32.75[/tex]

Find the number of shirts he can buy:

[tex]14.50x\leq 32.75\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 14.50\\\\x \leq 2.2\\\\x\leq 2[/tex]

Thus he can buy maximum 2 shirts
