Answer 1

Answer: 0.15p+1.59n ≤ 5.00

Explanation:

Given: A pencil costs $0.15, and a The notebook costs $1.59.

Let p = Number of pencils.

n = Number of notebooks.

Total cost of pencil and notebook = 0.15p+1.59n

Since Mayumi has $5.00.

So, Total cost of pencil and notebook ≤ $5.00

⇒ 0.15p+1.59n ≤ 5.00

Hence, the required inequality: 0.15p+1.59n ≤ 5.00
