Question

Raul plans to spend no more than $78.00 on two shirts and a pair of jeans. He bought the two shirts for $19.89 each. How much can he spend on the jeans
can someone please help me

Answer 1

shirt =s jeans = j
2s + 2 j less or = 78;
1s = 19.89
2s = 2 x 19.89 =
2j < or = 78 - 2s

Answer 2

so 2 shirts = 39.78

Answer 3

2s + j <= 78 (less then or equal )
2(19.89) + j <= 78
39.78 + j <= 78
j <= 78 - 39.78
j <= 38.22

Raul can spend $ 38.22 or less on jeans

Answer 4
