Do you have a guess?

anonymous · Answer

no

anonymous · Answer

Ok well he had $80, then he spent a total of $32 ($12 of a belt and $20 on a shirt).
If he wanted to buy a pair of pants with the remaining money (x) it would have to be equal to or less than what he has left, right?

Is this making sense?

anonymous · Answer

Do you guys think you could help him with this?

anonymous · Answer

So $80 minus what he spent on the belt and shirt leaves him with how much?

anonymous · Answer

$48 right? So if x is the cost of pants. Then $$x \le $48$$

anonymous · Answer

That would be how much he has to spend on pants. Considering there is no tax.

igreen · Answer

$80 - 20 - 12 \le x$

Where x = Pants

igreen · Answer

Simplify:

$60 - 12 \le x$

$48 \le x$
