Answer: $x + 18.99 \leq 24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the cost of bus fair = x dollars,

Also, a baseball cap which is $18.99 is needed to buy with the given money,

Hence, total expenditure = x + 18.99

While the given money for spending = 24 dollars,

That is, the expenditure can not be exceeded to $ 24.

Thus, the required inequality,

$x + 18.99 \leq 24$
