Answer:

[tex]10n \le 30[/tex]

[tex]n \le 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total = \$30[/tex]

[tex]Cost (each) = \$10[/tex]

Required

Determine the inequality

Assume she wants to buy n CDs.

If 1 CD costs $10, then n CDs costs 10n.

So, the inequality is:

[tex]10n \le 30[/tex]

We used [tex]\le[/tex] because the amount she wants to spend cannot exceed 30

Divide both sides by 10, to solve for n

[tex]n \le 3[/tex]
