Answer: 14


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total balance in the account = $200

Also the business assistant must leave more than $50 in the supply account.

Therefore, the maximum amount he can use to order boxes= \$200-\$50=\$150..(1)

Since the assistant needs to order x boxes of pens.

Cost of each box = $10.50

Therefore, cost of x boxes=10.50 x

From (1), we have the inequality

10.50x\leq150\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq\frac{150}{10.50}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq14.285\\\Rightarrow\ x=14....\text{[since 14 is the maximum whole number less than 14.285]}

Hence, the business assistant can buy maximum 14 boxes of pens.
