Q. Jennifer wants to spend no more than $300 \$ 300 on school clothes. She spends $75 \$ 75 on a jacket and wants to buy some shirts that are on sale for $10 \$ 10 each. Which inequality represents the number, s s , of shirts Jennifer can buy?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) s≤22 s \leq 22 \newline(B) s>30 s>30 \newline(C) s>37 s>37 \newline(D) s<38 s<38
  1. Calculate Remaining Budget: Jennifer's total budget for school clothes is \$\(300\). She has already spent \$\(75\) on a jacket. To find out how much money she has left for shirts, we subtract the cost of the jacket from her total budget.
  2. Determine Maximum Shirts: Each shirt costs \(\$10\). To find out the maximum number of shirts, \(s\), Jennifer can buy with the remaining \(\$225\), we divide the remaining budget by the cost per shirt.
  3. Limit on Shirt Quantity: Since Jennifer cannot buy a fraction of a shirt, the maximum number of shirts she can buy is \(22\). This means the number of shirts, \(s\), must be less than or equal to \(22\).
