$125 is a "must budget" so it will be the constant in the inequality

The fountain is $30 per hour. If they spend x hours, then their budget for fountain will be
fountain = 30x

The inequality
Their budget is maximum $250, that means they are able to spend less than or equal to $250
constant + fountain ≤ 250
125 + 30x ≤ 250
<em>This is the inequality expression</em>
