School sweatshirts cost $8 or $12 depending on the size (youth or adult). The total amount of money brought in at a Friday morning spirit sale was at most $216.00. Let x = the number of youth sweatshirts and y = the number of adult sweatshirts. Write a linear inequality that describes the situation. 8x + 12y ≥ 216 8x + 12y ≤ 216 8x + 12y < 216 8x + 12y > 216

BUYING JEANS You have 58 dollar, and you want to buy a pair of jeans and a $\$ 20$ T-shirt. There is a $6 \%$ sales tax. If $x$ represents the cost of the jeans, then the following inequality is a model that shows how much you can spend on the jeans. $$ x+20+0.06(x+20) \leq 58 $$ Simplify the left side of the inequality.

The Distributive Property
You and your classmates decide to sell sweatshirts and T-shirts to raise money for a school trip. You decide that you should sell at least thirty items, but do not want to exceed 120 items. Based on a small survey of students, you also decide that the number of T-shirts should be at least twice the number of sweatshirts. Assign variables to the unknown quantities and write a system of inequalities that model the given restrictions.

Use an inequality and the five-step process to solve each problem. Braden has budgeted $\$ 60$ per month for his cell phone. For his service, he pays a monthly fee of $\$ 39.95,$ plus taxes of $\$ 6.65,$ plus $10 \not$ for each text message sent or received. How many text messages can he send or receive and not exceed his budget?
