Question 15 • High School Math 2 A

The soccer team is conducting a fundraiser selling long-sleeved T-shirts for $14 and short-sleeved T-shirts for $10. So far the team has sold less than $200 worth of the two types of T-shirts. Which inequality best represents x, the number of long-sleeved T-shirts they have sold, and y, the number of short-sleeved T-shirts they have sold?

Answer
A
x + y < 200
B
x + y > 200
C
14x + 10y > 200
D
14x + 10y < 200

Explanation

Each long-sleeved shirt brings in $14, so selling x of them earns 14x dollars. Each short-sleeved shirt brings in $10, so selling y earns 10y dollars. Together the sales total 14x + 10y, and “less than $200” means this total is below 200. Therefore, the correct choice is 14x + 10y < 200.
