Answer:

1) The inequality is $55 ≥ $11.50 × S + $2.75

2) Alonso can afford 4 boxes of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The total amount with Alonso = $55

The amount of eggs Alonso needs = 12 eggs

The costs of the pack of 12 eggs = $2.75

The number of packs of eggs Alonso buys = 1

The cost of each box of sugar =  $11.50

Let the number of boxes of sugar Alonso buys = S

Given that the total amount of money with Alonso is $55, then the inequality will be such that $55 will be equal to or larger than the expression for items bought

Therefore, the inequality is given as follows;

$55 ≥ $11.50 × S + $2.75

2) To find out how many boxes of sugar Alonso can afford, we have;

$55 ≥ $11.50 × S + $2.75

$55 - $2.75≥ $11.50 × S

$52.25 ≥ $11.50 × S

∴ S ≤ $52.25/$11.50 = 4.54

S ≤ 4.54 boxes of sugar

As the sugar comes in whole boxes, Alonso can therefore afford only 4 whole boxes of sugar.

Alonso can afford to buy 4 boxes of sugar.
