The number of packs of paper Mr. Valentino can purchase is less than 4

<h3>How to determine the number of packs of paper Mr. Valentino can purchase?</h3>

The given parameters are

Cost = $3.79 per pack

Budget = $15

Let the number of packs be x.

So, we have

Cost * x <= Budget

Substitute the known values in the above inequality

3.79 * x <= 15

Divide both sides by 3.79

x <= 15/3.79

Evaluate the quotient

x <= 3.95

Round up and rewrite as

x < 4

This mean that the number of packs of paper Mr. Valentino can purchase is less than 4

See attachment for the inequality

The graph of the inequality uses a dashed line and the left part are shaded
