Hey there! The answer is 7x + 4y < 40
Let's first rearrange our data in a more structured way.
x represents a box of wings which has a cost of $7.00. Therefore the total cost of the boxes is 7x.
y represents a tray of nachos which has a cost of $4.00. Therefore the total cost of the trays is 4y.
The sum of the costs of trays and boxes, which is (7x + 4y) must be smaller than $40.
Now we can set up the inequality.
