Susan is making a large batch of salsa. She can spend no more than $30 on ingredients. She buys all ingredients except for tomatoes for $6.50. Tomatoes cost $2 per pound.
How many pounds of tomatoes, x, can she buy?

INEQUALITY THAT REPRESENTS THIS SITUATION
30>= 6.50+2x

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:

Now simplify the inequality.

Hence, she can buy 0 to 11.75 pounds of tomatoes.
