Part a: $10h + $15s ≤ $55

Part b: She can buy 3 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a: Write an equation to model the situation

Stephanie has $55 to spend.  Assume that hats are h, and shirts are s.

She can buy h hats for $10 each, represented as $10h

She can s shirts for $15 each, represented as $15s

She cannot spend more than $55

So that means $10h + $15s ≤ $55

It has to be less than or equal to because she can spend less money or $55 on her brother.

Part b: if she buys 1 hat, how many shirts can she buy?

Lets use our equation from part a

$10h + $15s ≤ $55

replace for for h because she bought 1 hat

$10 + $15s ≤ $55

Solve:

$10 + $15s ≤ $55

$15s ≤ $45

s ≤ 3

She can buy 3 shirts
