Final answer:

To determine how many sodas Johnny can buy, we subtract the cost of the ticket from his total budget and divide by the cost per soda, resulting in the inequality 2x ≤ 8, which simplifies to x ≤ 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which inequality could describe how many sodas, x, Johnny could buy at a La Joya football game with a budget of $12, assuming a ticket costs $4 and sodas cost $2 each. To solve this, we need to account for the ticket cost first, which leaves Johnny with $12 - $4 = $8 to spend on sodas. Each soda costs $2, so the number of sodas Johnny can buy is represented by the inequality 2x ≤ 8, where x is the number of sodas.

By dividing both sides of the inequality by 2, we find x ≤ 4. This means Johnny can buy up to 4 sodas at the game with the remaining money after purchasing his ticket.
