Lionel wants to buy a belt that costs $22 he also wants to buy some shirts that are on sale for $17 each he has $80 what inequality can you write to find the number of shirts he can buy? Identify what your variable represents

Cost=quantity times cost per one

so he wants to buy a belt (1 belt=1 times cost per belt=1 times $22=$22)

he also wants to buy some shirts (some=unknown=x so x times cost per shirt=x times $17=17x)

x=number of shirts

he has 80 dollars

when you buy something, it is a loss so

80 - (22+17x) >0 since he has to have more than or equal to zero since he cannot have negative dollars

the inequality is 80 - (22+17x) >0
