Daniel Parker · Answer 1

answer: 125 > 20 + 12.95j

explanation:

- the coach spent under $125 in total, so you know that you should set it greater than the other side of the inequality

- 20 is a constant that doesn't change because it's a one-time fee

- each jersey cost $12.95, so you have to multiply the number of jerseys (j) by 12.95.
