Help writing a multi-step equation?
The technical crew of the play needs shirts. Each shirt color matches the job the crew will be working on. Different color shirts have different designs and therefore cost different amounts. You will need:

6 red shirts, at $10.90
4 yellow shirts at $ $10.50
5 purple shirts at $12.50

You have $200.00 to spend on all the shirts. How many green shirts can you purchase for the ushers if those shirts cost $11.50 each? If you spend less than your budget, how much money do you have left over?
