GIVING BRAINLIST!! PLS ANSWER Trina is buying 12 shirts for the drama club. She will choose a style for the blank shirts and then pay additional charge of $2.75 for each shirt to have the club logo. If Trina cannot spend more than $99, how much can she spend on each blank shirt? Write and solve an inequality to find the possible cost of each blank shirt.

The most she can spend on each blank shirt is $5.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to set up the inequality, we need to write an expression for the total cost of each shirt wherein the price of each blank shirt is "x". Tina needs to buy 12 shirts and there is an additional charge of $2.75 for each logo. The total cost needs to be less than or equal to $99.

This gives us 12 * (x + 2.75) ≤ 99

We can then distribute:

12x + 12 * 2.75 ≤ 99

12x + 33 ≤ 99

Then subtract 33 from both sides:

12x ≤ 66

And finally divide by 12 on both sides:

x ≤ 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 2.75*12 < 99             Combine 12 * 2.75

12x + 33 < 99                     Subtract 33 from both sides

12x < 99 - 33                      Combine

12x <66                               Dive by 12

x < 66/12

x < 5.50

The very most she can spend is 5.50 on each shirt. Actually it should be 5.49 which will be less than 99. It will come to 65.88 which is just 12 cents less than 99, but it answers the problem. The problem does not use less than or equal which would mean that 99 is the answer ≤
