Represent constraints with equations, inequalities, and systems; interpret viable and non-viable solutions in context.
Write a single inequality constraint for a budget, capacity, or time limit
Problem
Shirts cost \(\$12\) each, and the spending limit is \(\$60\). Let \(s\) be the number of shirts. Write an inequality representing the budget.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
This is a resource-limit model. We’ll write the amount spent as the price per shirt times the number of shirts, then compare that expression with the budget. The phrase “at most” makes the budget an inclusive ceiling, so reaching it is allowed while exceeding it is not. A boundary check confirms the inequality direction.
