Given

Vanessa has a total of $8.

She spends $6 to buy poster boards

She spends the rest to buy some pens

Each pen costs $0.30.

If the number of pens that can be bought is represented by x

Then,

The total amount spent on pen is 0.3x

The total amount spent on postal boards is $6

Total money available is $8

Therefore, 0.3x + 6 ≤ 8

0.3x ≤ 8 – 6

0.3x ≤ 2
