    22 = cost of belt he bought

    17 = cost of 1 shirt

    x = number of shirts he'll buy

    80 = budget

    22 + 17x < 80

    -22 - 22

    17x < 58

    :17 : 17

    x < 3.41

    Lionel can buy a maximum of 3 shirts to stay within his budget of 80 dollars.

    To check:

    22 + 17x < 80

    22 + 17 (3) < 80

    22 + 51 < 80

    73 < 80
