A club can buy ready-made shirts for $14.50 each. Alternatively, it can buy plain T-shirts for $6.25 each, fabric paint for $35.70, and a pack of stencils for $8.50.

For how many shirts is stenciling plain T-shirts cheaper than buying ready-made shirts?

Let the number of shirts bought be x. 14.5x > 6.25x+35.7+8.5 14.5x-6.25x > 35.7+8.5 8.25x > 44.2 x > 5.35757575757... Therefore, the least number of shirts bought is 6.

**Six **shirts are the **fewest **number ever **purchased **or there are **6 shirts **is stenciling plain **T-shirts **cheaper than buying ready-made shirts.
What is inequality?
It is defined as the **expression **in mathematics in which both **sides **are not equal they have mathematical signs either less than or **greater **than known as inequality .
It is given that:
A club can buy ready -made shirts for** $14.50** each.
Alternately, it can buy plain T-shirts for $6.25 each, fabric paint for $35.70, and a pack of stencils for $8.50.
From the **question **we can frame inequality as follows:
Let's suppose the **number **of shirts bought is x
14.5x > 6.25x + 35.7 + 8.5
After simplification:
14.5x - 6.25x > 35.7 + 8.5
8.25x > 44.2
x > 5.35
5.35 ≈ 6
Thus, **six **shirts are the **fewest **number ever **purchased **or there are **6 shirts **is stenciling plain **T-shirts **cheaper than **buying **ready-made shirts .

Stenciling plain T-shirts becomes cheaper than ready-made shirts when purchasing at least 6 shirts. This is derived by comparing the costs of ready-made shirts and the total cost of plain T-shirts with added materials. The inequality shows that for 6 or more shirts, stenciling is the more economical option.
