7 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to subtract 22 from 80, since that's how much she already spent, 80-22=58. Now you have to do 58/8, but since 8 doesn't divide evenly into 58, you have to go with the closet multiple of 8 which would be 56. 7x8=56, so Jenna can buy a maximum number of 7 shirts.
