Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that the possible amounts that he will spend on candy are represented by the inequality $c \leq 54$.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, each pound of candy costs $6, and he will buy at most 9 pounds, hence the maximum amount he will spend is given by:

M = $6 x 9 = $54.

Hence, the possible amounts that he will spend on candy are represented by the inequality $c \leq 54$.
