Makeeya only has $25 to spend on a custom T-shirt. It costs $10 for a plain T-shirt, and there is a charge of $$1.50 for each square inch of design added to the T-shirt. Which solution represents the number of square inches of design, x, Makeeya can put on her T-shirt?

10 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of a plain t-shirt = $10

cost of 1 square inch of design addition = $1.50

let there be x square inches of design

then cost of x square inches of design = x*cost of 1 square inch of design

= 1.50*x = 1.5x

Total cost for t-shirt with x square inches of design = cost of a plain t-shirt + cost of x square inches of design = 10 + 1.5 x

It is given that Makeeya has only $25, then total cost which can be afforded by him will be $25 only

Thus,

10 + 1.5 x = 25

=> 1.5x = 25-10 = 15

=> x = 15/1.5 = 10

Thus, Makeeya can put 10 square inches of design on her T-shirt.
