Answer 2

Let us say Samantha spends $x for her school at lunch every week.

We are given that she can spend as much as $15 every week for her school at lunch every week.

As much as stands for maximum quantity that she can spend.

So $15 is the maximum she can spend.

Writing an inequality,

$x \leq 15$
