Question

Mrs.Scott decides that she would spend no more then $120 to buy a jacket and a shirt. If the price of the jacket was $20 more than 3 times the price of the skirt. Find the highest possible price of the shirt?

Answer 1

Highest possible value of shirt = $25

Step-by-step explanation:

DATA:

Total amount to be spent = $120

Price of shirt = x

Price of jacket = 20 + 3x

To find the price of the shirt,

Step 1: Find the value of x

Price of shirt + price of jacket = Total amount to be spent

x + 20 + 3x <= 120

4x + 20 <= 120

4x <= 100

x <= $\frac{100}{4}$

x <= 25

Step 2: Find the value of the shirt by substituting the value of x

Price of shirt = x

Price of shirt = $25

Price of Jacket = 20 + 3x

Price of Jacket = 20 + 3(25)

Price of Jacket = 20 + 75

Price of Jacket = $95

Therefore, the highest possible price of the shirt is $25.
