    10 square inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    cost of a plain t-shirt = $10

    cost of 1 square inch of design addition = $1.50

    let there be x square inches of design

    then cost of x square inches of design = x*cost of 1 square inch of design

    = 1.50*x = 1.5x

    Total cost for t-shirt with x square inches of design = cost of a plain t-shirt + cost of x square inches of design = 10 + 1.5 x

    It is given that Makeeya has only $25, then total cost which can be afforded by him will be $25 only

    Thus,

    10 + 1.5 x = 25

    => 1.5x = 25-10 = 15

    => x = 15/1.5 = 10

    Thus, Makeeya can put 10 square inches of design on her T-shirt.
