Question

The soccer team is conducting a fundraiser selling long-sleeved T-shirts for $14 and short-sleeved T-shirts for $10. So far the team has sold less than $200 worth of the two types of T-shirts. Which inequality best represents x, the number of long-sleeved T-shirts they have sold, and y, the number of short-sleeved T-shirts they have sold?

Answer 1

If x is the number of long-sleeved T-shirts they have sold and each long-sleeved T-shirts was sold for $14, then they got $14x for all long-sleeved T-shirts.

If y is the number of short-sleeved T-shirts they have sold and each short-sleeved T-shirts was sold for $10, then they got $10y for all short-sleeved T-shirts.

In total they got $(14x+10y). This amount of money is less than $200, then

14x + 10y < 200
