She spends $8 on a ticket and wants to buy some snacks. Each snack costs $4.99.
How many snacks, x, can Janelle buy?

Inequality that represents this situation:
20≥8+4.99x

Drag each number to show if it is a solution to both the inequality and the problem situation, to the inequality only, or if it is not a solution.
