The answer to your question is 7n ≤ 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Cost of 1 bag = $7

The maximum amount of money spent = $28

n = number of 3-pound bags

Process

- We know that the amount spent must be at most = $28, so we use the symbol ≤.

- The money spend is the price of one bag times the number of bags bought.

- Then the inequality is

7n ≤ 28
