Answer:

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

He can buy up to 14 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money ≥number of peppermints * cost per peppermint + number of sour candies * cost per sour candy

We know he has 5 dollars.  He bought 5 peppermints at $.15 cents each and x sour candies at $.25 each

Substituting in

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

5≥1.35 + .25x

Subtract 1.35 on each side

5-1.35 ≥ 1.35-1.35+.25x

3.65≥.25x

Divide by .25 on each side

3.65/.25 ≥ .25x/.25

14.6 ≥ x

He can buy up to 14 candies.  You can't buy part of a candy
