Todd spent $75 on snorkeling and $135 on lunch, leaving him with $275 - $75 - $135 = $200 - $135 = $65.
If t-shirts cost $10, he will be able to buy 6 t-shirts for a total of 6($10) = $60. You can model this answer like this, where x = number of shirts:
$75 + $135 + $10x ≤ $275
This says that the total cost of snorkeling, lunch, and his t-shirts must be less than or equal to the amount of money he brought along.
For the second problem, you want to find 20% of $45.50. In math, "of" means "multiply." So:
0.2($45.50) = $9.10 tip
