John is going to buy ties at $7.50 per tie and some shirts at $18.50 each. If he buys twice as many ties as shirts and spends no more than $205. What is the greatest number of shirts he can buy. ( taxes are included)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Value Inequality:: 7.5t + 18.5s <= 205 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity ::::::: t = 2s
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"t\" and solve for \"s\"::
\n" ); document.write( "7.5(2s) + 18.5s <= 205
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "15s + 18.5s <= 205
\n" ); document.write( "33.5s <= 205
\n" ); document.write( "s <= 6 (# of shirts he can buy)
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"t\"::
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2s
\n" ); document.write( "t <= 12 (# of ties he can buy)
