angryLuke bought a video game system that costs $99.95 and games that cost $19.99 each. Bella bought a game system that costs $125.79 and games that cost $15.99 each. Luke spent the same amount or less money than Bella. Which inequality represents this situation?

Let the number of games Luke bought = x.

Let the number of games Bella bought = y.

How much Luke paid = \($99.95 + $19.99 \times x = $99.95+$19.99x\)

How much Bella paid = \($125.79 + $15.99 \times y = $125.79 + $15.99y\)

 

If how much Luke paid is equal or lesser than how much Bella paid, then

99.95 + 19.99x ≤ 125.79 + 15.99y                | - 99.95

             19.99x ≤ 25.84 + 15.99y
