Joanna Singleton · Answer 1

8x + 12y < 100

Step-by-step explanation:

if x equals the amount of shirts that you purchase then 8x equals $8 per shirt if y equals the amount of shorts you purchase than 12y means each pair of shorts for $12

you're limit is 100

therefore you cant go past 100:

100>

the sum of the amount of shirts you purchase for $8 and the amount of shorts you purchase for $12 is less than 100

8x+12y<100
