Answer: The required amount of money spent on each of the two video games is less than or equal to 45.25.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Zachary is planning to send a video game to each of his two brothers. He buys the same game for both brothers and pays $4.75 to ship each game.

We are to write and solve an inequality find the amount spent on each game without spending more than $100.

Let $x be the amount that is spent on each of the two video games.

Then, according to the given information, the inequality can be written and solved as follows :


2x+2*4.75\leq 100\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+9.5\leq100\\\\\Rightarrow 2x\leq100-9.5\\\\\Rightarrow 2x\leq90.5\\\\\Rightarrow x\leq(90.5)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow x\leq 45.25.

Thus, the required amount of money spent on each of the two video games is less than or equal to 45.25.
