Carla has $45. Pineapples cost $5 each and mangos cost $2 each. Let p stand for pineapples and let m stand for mangos. Write an inequality to show how many of each Carla can buy.

If p stands for the number of pineapples and m stands for the number of mangoes, then the inequality sentence will be "The total cost of pineapples and mangoes can't be higher than total money Clara has", or it will be "The total cost of pineapples and mangoes is less than or equal to $45"

The inequality:

5p + 2m ≤ 45
