1) The members of a school club are creating
shirts to sell at football games. The company
charges $75 to make shirts. The materials needed
to make each shirt costs an additional $2.25. The
club has a maximum of $500 to spend on making
the shirts. Write and solve an inequality to
determine the maximum number of shirts, s, the
club can make.

Answer:

2.25s + 75 ≤ 500

s ≤ 188.8888888...

Step-by-step explanation:

The $75 charge seems to be a one-time charge.

Let s represent the number of "materials" needed to make each shirt (or the number of shirts produced)

2.25s represents the total cost of s shirts made

2.25s + 75 ≤ 500

2.25s ≤ 500 - 75

2.25s ≤ 425

s ≤ 425 / 2.25

s ≤ 188.8888888...

The club can make up to 188 shirts.
