Answer:

 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question statement:  

Cost of Chocolate milk which is ordered already = $3.25.

Benjamin want his bill to be at most =  $30

Each stack of pancakes contains 4 pancakes.

Each stack of pancake costs= $5.50

Given that S represents the number of stacks of pancakes bought.

We have, Cost of 1 pancake = $5.50

Now, let us calculate the cost of the number of stacks of pancakes bought.

[tex]\text{Cost of one stack of pancakes}\times \text{Number of stacks of pancakes bought}[/tex]

i.e.  

[tex]5.50S[/tex]

So, total bill = Cost of chocolate milk shake + Money spent on stacks of pancakes = [tex]\$3.25+5.50S[/tex]

Now, this money should be lesser than or equal to $30 because maximum bill that Benjamin wants is $30.

So, the inequality can be written as:

[tex]\bold{3.25+5.50S \le 30}[/tex]

Please refer to https://brainly.com/question/17138529 as well.

3.25+5.50S < (with line under it) 30

To add on to what isyllus said...

3.25+5.50S < (with line under it) 30 is the equation

16 pancakes is the amount.

:) hope this helps!
