25x + 65y = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount to be spent = $80

Maximum amount to be spent on music = $25

Maximum amount to be spent on books = $65

Let x represent music and y represent books

x (25) + y (65) = 80

25x + 65y = 80

The equation that represent the situation is

25x + 65y = 80
