Answer:

et g be the number of gigabytes Ella can use while staying within her budget.

Ella's monthly bill is 49+5g, since she pays a flat cost of $49 per month and $5 per gigabyte.

We want to find the value of g such that 49+5g is less than or equal to 60, since that is the maximum amount of money Ella wants to spend on her cell phone bill.

Solving the inequality 49+5g <= 60, we get:

49+5g <= 60

5g <= 11

g <= 2.2

Therefore, Ella can use 2.2 or fewer gigabytes while staying within her budget.
