Answer 2

2.25x+1.25y
`\leq`y

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

the budget of y dollars

the coke cost $2.25 and

the tacos cost $1.25

Required:

the linear inequality based on the limited budget

Step two:

let the number of coke be x

and the number of tacos be y

So the linear inequality is

2.25x+1.25y
`\leq`y
