After getting the eggs, he wants to buy as much sugar as he can with his remaining money. The sugar he likes comes in boxes that each cost \$11.50$11.50dollar sign, 11, point, 50. Let SSS represent the number of boxes of sugar Alonso buys.

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario in the question, the expression to calculate the number of boxes of sugar Alonso can buys will be:

= 2.75 + 11.50S ≤ 55

When solved further, this will be:

2.75 + 11.50S ≤ 55

11.50S ≤ 55 - 2.75

11.50S ≤ 52.25

S ≤ 52.25 / 11.50

S ≤ 4.54

He can buy 4 boxes of sugar
