Answer:

they have $60 dollars because 10 times 1.50 is $15 so they have $60 to spend on blankets

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum amount spent on each blanket is required.

The maximum amount that can be spent on each blanket is $7.35

Number of blankets is 10.

Let cost of one blanket be [tex]x[/tex]

The cost of shipping 10 blankets is $1.5

Total amount to spent is $150 or less.

The inequality will be

[tex]10x+1.5\leq 150\\\Rightarrow x\leq \dfrac{150-1.5}{10}\\\Rightarrow x\leq 7.35[/tex]

The maximum amount that can be spent on each blanket is $7.35.
