Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he spends 8.75 on lunch, we subtract that from the total, 50 dollars. When we subtract that, we get 41.25 left. The variable is not clear for the sweatshirt cost and how much money you can spend on it, so I will call it x. Since 41.25 is the total amount you can spend on a sweatshirt, anything exactly that amount or less is okay. So, our answer is x is less than or equal to 41.25. (Less than or equal to is the < with a slash underneath)
