0.5x+1.5y[tex]\leq[/tex]28

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. X is the number of pencils, so multiply the price of one pencil by the number of them to get the total price of pencils-0.5x
  2. Y is the number of paper, so multiply the price of one paper by the number of them to get the total price of paper-1.5y
  3. Leo has $28, so he can either spend $28 or less on pencil and paper, which means that his total cost should be less than or equal to 28
