Answer:

3.75 + 0.15n ≤ 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You can not spend more than $5.25 so the inequality sign must be less than or equal to

If you know the shop charges a minimum of $3.75 for a sandwich, you need to include that in your equation

The $0.15 for additional toppings is included as $0.15 multiplied by n (0.15n)

n can be from 0-10, as 10 is the most toppings you can get before you go over your spending limit and you don't have to pay for additional toppings if you don't want to.
