Answer:

The most expensive she can buy is the soccerball

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total =\$29.00[/tex]

[tex]T\ Shirt = \$15.32[/tex]

[tex]Soccer\ Ball= \$12.87[/tex]

[tex]Baseball\ Cap = \$8.39[/tex]

[tex]Shin\ Guards = \$14.98[/tex]

[tex]Water\ Bottle = \$5.93[/tex]

Required

Using [tex]\$15.32 + c = \$29.00[/tex], what is the most expensive she can buy?

[tex]\$15.32 + c = \$29.00[/tex]

Subtract $15.32 from both sides

[tex]\$15.32 - \$15.32 + c = \$29.00 - \$15.32[/tex]

[tex]\$15.32 - \$15.32 + c = \$13.68[/tex]

[tex]c = \$13.68[/tex]

This means that she can not afford items that cost more than $13.68

i.e. the shin guards which costs $14.98

The items she can afford and their prices are:

[tex]Soccer\ Ball= \$12.87[/tex]

[tex]Baseball\ Cap = \$8.39[/tex]

[tex]Water\ Bottle = \$5.93[/tex]

The most expensive of them all is:

[tex]Soccer\ Ball= \$12.87[/tex]
