Answer 12

You received a $100 gift certificate to a clothing store.
The store sells t-shirts for $15 and dress shirts for $23.
You want to spend no more than the amount of the gift certificate.
You want to leave at most $5 of the gift certificate unspent. You need at least one dress shirt.
What are all of the possible combinations of t-shirts and dress shirts you could buy?
a. 1 t-shirt and 4 dress shirts
b. 5 t-shirts and 1 dress shirt
c. 3 t-shirts and 2 dress shirts
d. 2 t-shirts and 3 dress shirts

$100 (Total Money)| $15 (per t-shirt)| $23 (per dress shirt)| $5 (Needs to be left.)|

Okay so:
15 * 2 = 30
15 * 3 = 45
15 * 4 = 60
15 * 5 = 75
15 * 6 = 90
(Rates of t-shirts)
23 * 1 = 23
23 * 2 = 46
23 * 3 = 69
23 * 4 = 92
23 * 5 = 115
23 * 6 = 138
(Rates of dress-shirts)

1 t-shirt and 4 dress shirts (15) + (92) = 107 (Not quite it)
5 t-shirts and 1 dress shirt (75) + 23 = 98 ( Not quite it)
3 t-shirts and 2 dress shirts (45) + (46) = 91 (Not quite it)
2 t-shirts and 3 dress shirts (30) + (69) = 99 (Not quite it)

(You want to leave at most $5 of the gift certificate unspent)
I'd go with "3 t-shirts and 2 dress shirts (45) + (46) = 91 (Not quite it)."
