ahh! this question should be easy! yet i cant figure it out.. :? .heres the question...

You have $58, and you want to buy a pair of jeans and a $20 T-Shirt. There is a 6% sales tax. If x represents the cost of the jeans, write an inequality that models the situation. The solve the inequality to find the maximum price you can pay for the jeans.

Any help is greatly appreciated..thanks

Boy, I'm getting dizzy watching you guys kick this thing around!

You have $58;
you spend on Tshirt $20 + 6% tax = $21.20;
so you have 58 - 21.20 = $36.80 left for the jeans;
SO SO SO SO:
x = the jeans; x + 6% tax on x cannot exceed 36.80;
IS THAT CLEAR?
