You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Letting s equal how many shirts to order,

20%2As%2B10.99 is the cost for s shirts, in dollars.

Cost must be no more than $50.
20s%2B10.99%3C=50.
Use this inequality to solve for and then pick the largest whole value that works.
Your work looks good. PICK THE WHOLE VALUE WHICH WILL WORK! What are your choices? 0? 1? 2?
