Answer:

225 ≥ 11x + 45y

Step-by-step explanation:

150 + 75 = 225, so $225 is what Harry has to work with.

Harry can't spend more than $225, hence the "more than or equal to" sign.

"x" represents the number of movie tickets, which cost $11 each. "y" represents the number of video games, which are $45 each.

You must combine these terms to equal a number less than or equal to 225.
