For this case we have, that the berries cost 3 dollars per pound.

If you have $ 20, we want to find the maximum amount (N) of berries that we can buy.

By multiplying the N pounds of berries by $ 3, the product should not exceed $ 20.

So:


N * 3 \leq20

Thus, the inequality is:


N * 3 \leq20


N \leq \frac {20} {3}

Answer:


N \leq \frac {20} {3}
