PLEASE ANSWER Chelsea is budgeting for her trip to the mall. She does not want to spend any more than $140. If she wants to buy a dress that costs $28.50 and some shirts that cost $20.75 each, she can buy ___ shirts. Use the inequality to help solve the problem.

Respuesta :

Let s equal the number of shirts she can buy

140 > $28.50 + $20.75s
111.50 > 20.75s
5.37 > s

so we round down.  she can buy 5 shirts, plus the one dress and she would spend less than $140
