Harmon's jewelry store receives a shipment
of 500 jewelry pieces, but 15 pieces are
damaged. at this rate if mrs. harmon places
an order for 5,500 jewelry pieces, how many
should she expect to be damaged?
how many should she expect to be damaged

She should expect 165 to be damaged.

Step-by-step explanation:

5,500/500 = 11

15 * 11 = 165

500 : 15

5,500 : 165

i pretty sure it is

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
