They plan to buy at least 5 times as many shirts as hats. The organizers used these inequalities to determine the number of shirts, s, and hats, h, that can be ordered. 10s+8h≤1800 h≥5s What error did the organizers make? A. The first inequality should be 10s+8h≥1800. B. The second inequality should be s≥5h. C. The inequalities should be equations. D. The first inequality should be s+h≤1800.
