Now in inequalities that have 7 and 5 in them, 7 represents the cost of first ingredient and 5 the cost of second ingredient. If we multiply each of that number with quantity of that ingredient and sum both up we get the price of the mixture.
Because he says that he wants that mixture costs no more than 30 that means that it costs less than 30 but 30 can be the answer as well.
The last answer is E) 7x + 5y
