Larry is buying new clothes for his return to school. He is buying shoes for $57 and shirts cost $15 each. He has $105 to spend. Which of the following can be solved to find the number of shirts he can afford?
Let s be the number of shirts. Since shoes are a one-time fixed cost, we have:
15s + 57 = 105
We want to solve this equation for s. We type it in our math engine and we get:
s = 3.2 or 3 whole shirts
