---------------------------------------------------------------
Y=(10+A)X where X is the number of shirts and A is the tax.

Jimmy has $75, so maximum bill can be Y=75.

75=%2810%2BA%29X
and the question is for an "equation".
75%2F%2810%2BA%29=X

(May really need whatever whole number works, depending on the value of A).
