Answer:
$2.40 + $2.20x < $9
Step-by-step explanation:
Patricia had less than $9 to spend at the grocery store.
She bought 1 pound of tomatoes and wanted to spend the rest amount on potatoes.
Since 1 pound of tomatoes cost = $2.40
If 1 pound of potatoes cost = $2.20
Now cost of x pounds of potatoes = $(2.20).(x)
Total money spent = money spent on potatoes + amount spent on potatoes
$9 = $2.40 + $(2.20).(x)
But Patricia is having money less than $9 to spend, so total amount spent
will be less than $9 and the inequality will be as below.
$9 > $2.40 + $(2.20)(x)
