Answer:

12x + 15y < 120

Explanation:

We don't know exactly how many items were bought, so we have to represent those numbers with letters (x and y)

Books are $12 each, so the total cost of books = 12x

DVDs are $15 each, so the total cost of DVDs = 15y

We know that some books and DVDs were bought: 12x + 15y

And the total amount spend was less than $120: <120

So 12x + 15y < 120
