Mariana has a $20 gift card for downloading music → this means that she can spend at most $20 on music, you can symbolize this situation as ≤20

If each song costs $1.29 and she buys "m" number of songs, the total cost of the songs can be expressed as 1.29m

Then the inequality that represents the number of songs she can download is


1.29m\leq20
