Dawn has less than $60. She wants to buy 3 sweaters. What price of sweaters can she afford if all the sweaters are the same price? Let s be the price of each sweater. Write this as an inequality.

The phrase less than means an inequality, so we have the following inequality:
3s < 60

To solve this inequality, we type it in our math engine and we get:
s < 20
