[tex]21+7.50p\leq 52[/tex]
For inequalities, "a is no more than b" can be written as:
[tex]a\leq b[/tex]
Here we know Candace that can spend no more than $52 before tax. She can spend a certain amount of money in both Dark Roast coffee and Morning Blend coffee. So she spends:
Therefore:
Amount of money for Morning Blend coffee:
[tex]2\times 10.50=\$21[/tex]
Amount of money for Dark Roast coffee:
[tex]p\times 7.50=\$7.50p[/tex]
So the total amount of money:
[tex]21+7.50p[/tex]
Finally, the inequality becomes:
[tex]21+7.50p\leq 52[/tex]
Besides, in order to know how many pounds she can spend let's solve for p:
[tex]7.50p\leq 52-21 \\ \\ 7.50p\leq 31 \\ \\ p\leq 4.13[/tex]
So she can spend less that 4.13 pounds.
