Step-by-step explanation: Let us say that the number of gumballs bought is represented by the variable g. In this case, the question is asking how many gumballs can be bought without surpassing the price of $2.50. We know that each gumball is $0.25, therefore the number of gumballs we buy times $0.25 has to be less than $2.50. Hence, the inequality would be 0.25g<2.50. If we were to solve this then g<2.50/0.25-----> g<10. In conclusion, the number of gumballs you can buy has to be less than 10. Thank you!
