Answer:

  • 7 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Total amount = $200
  • Cost of a jacket = $50
  • Cost of a shirt = $20
  • Number of shirts = x

Required inequality:

  • 20x + 50 ≤ 200
  • 20x ≤ 200 - 50
  • 20x ≤ 150
  • x ≤ 150/20
  • x ≤ 7.5

The largest whole number less that 7.5 is 7.

Jasmine can buy 7 shirts.
