There are 88 keys on a new piano. If there are 12 pianos in a room of broken pianos, some of which may have missing keys, how many piano keys could be on the pianos? Write and solve an inequality to answer the question.
-----------
Let "x" be the number of keys on the 12 pianos.
INEQUALITY:
x <=12*88
x <= 1056 keys
