4x < $75

*I did not consider the GC of $25 because Chet already spent it before buying 4 work shirts. His budget for the work shirts is only $75.

4x < $ 75

:4 : 4

x < $18.75

Each shirt must cost a maximum of $18.75 so that Chet will not go over budget. Any work shirt bought with a price lower than $18.75 will be better for Chet, budget wise.
