Dominique used the inequality below to find the maximum number of sweatshirts she could purchase with her savings.

32 x < 300

What is the greatest number of sweatshirts Dominique can purchase?

We just have to find the closest number that can be multiplied by 32 and still be under 300. Do this by following this step:

Divide by 32 on both sides.

x < 9.375

We can't buy 9.375 sweatshirts though, and we can't add more decimals or it will go over 300, so you round down to 9.

Dominique can buy 9 sweatshirts without going over $300!
