Respuesta :

The inequality that describe the situation is (22 x 8) + (5 x S) = 200 and with the money left over, the team will be able to buy 4 pairs of socks, and there will be $4 left over.

Inequality:

Inequality means relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions.

Given,

A basketball team raised $200 to purchase new jerseys.

There are 8 people on the team and jerseys cost $22 each.

With the extra money, the team would like to purchase socks at $5 per pair.

Here we need to find the ย inequality that describes the situation and solve it. And also we need to find the greatest number of pairs of socks the team can purchase.

Let S be the number of Socks they brought.

Based on the given details,

The following inequality must be raised:

=> (22 x 8) + (5 x S) = 200

When we solve it,

=> 176 + 5S = 200

=> 5S = 200 - 176

=> 5S = 24

=> S = 24 / 5

Here the S has the value of 4 and the remaining is 4.

Therefore,

with the money left over, the team will be able to buy 4 pairs of socks, and there will be $ 4 left over.
