Initial quantity = $50

Quantity already spent = $28

Want $5 or more leftover

If the intial quantity is $50 and you already spent $28, then you have 50 - 28 = 22

If you want to keep at least 5 then we can write:

x + 5 <= 22 ==> x <= 17

This means that the quatity you can spend plus 5 (leftover) has to be less than or equal to 22

Answer:

x <= 17

Where x is the quantity you can spend to keep at least $5
