Answer:
She can buy 0 to 11.75 pounds of tomatoes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
It is given that Susan can spend no more than $30 on ingredients. She buys all ingredients except for tomatoes for $6.50. Tomatoes cost $2 per pound.
It means she can only spend less than or equal to $30. Let x be the pounds of tomatoes she can buy.
So, the required inequality should be:
[tex]30\leq 6.50+2x[/tex]
Now simplify the inequality.
[tex]30-6.50\leq 2x[/tex]
[tex]23.5 \leq 2x[/tex]
[tex]11.75\leq x[/tex]
Hence, she can buy 0 to 11.75 pounds of tomatoes.
