Christina goes to the market with $50. She buys one papaya for $20 and spends the rest of the money on bananas. Eack banana costs $6. Write an inequality for the number of bananas she can buy. I know the answer, I just need help writing the inequality.

Ok.....from the beginning, we would have

$10P + $6B ≤ $50     where P is the number of papayas and B is the number of bananas

She has $30 to spend on bananas

So  the  max number she can buy is representsed by

6B ≤ 30    divide by 6 on each side

B ≤  5       where B is the number of bananas  (man, that's some expensive fruit!!)
