Answer:
y[tex]\leq[/tex]15.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The Total Amount taken to the store by Jerome = $20
He buys a book worth $4.50
Let y be the most he could spend on CDs
Since he is spending on books and CDs, the amount spent cannot be more than total sum he has, therefore:
y+$4.50[tex]\leq[/tex]20
This is because he could spend either less than $20 or exactly $20
y[tex]\leq[/tex]20-4.50
y[tex]\leq[/tex]15.5 is the inequality to find the most he could spend on CDs.
