Is this multi choice?

TheRealExuse · Answer

Yes I shall post the options hold on.

TheRealExuse · Answer

x ≤ 7
 x ≥ 7
 x ≤ 12
 x ≥ 12

HighIQReptilian · Answer

Ok, so the first step would be to subtract the price of the jeans (27) from your total (90). What does 90-27 give you?

TheRealExuse · Answer

63.

HighIQReptilian · Answer

Righto! Then, if you divide 63 by 9 what do you get?

TheRealExuse · Answer

7

ok and would it be greater or less?

crispyrat · Answer

if you want to figure out the most you can buy?

HighIQReptilian · Answer

Which means that the most you can buy is 7 shirts. So now pick the correct inequality. :D

TheRealExuse · Answer

It would have to be greater.

TheRealExuse · Answer

I think.

crispyrat · Answer

hmm no, think about it it is the MOST you can buy. If i can at most buy 5 appels then there would be a limit. so is it greater or less?

HighIQReptilian · Answer

Well, think of it this way, x can't be greater than 7  because you can only buy 7 shirts. You COULD buy less shirts though.

TheRealExuse · Answer

I thought we where talking about the money needed but I guess not. less than. ty :)
