Final answer:

The inequality 4.76c + 5.36p < 300 can be graphed by plotting the line 4.76c + 5.36p = 300 and shading the region below it, representing all the (c,p) combinations that satisfy the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality 4.76c + 5.36p < 300 represents a region in a two-dimensional coordinate system where all combinations of c (which could represent the count of a certain item) and p (which could represent the price of another item) that satisfy the inequality are located. To graph this inequality, you would start by imagining this as a line equation, 4.76c + 5.36p = 300, and then plot two points that satisfy the equation to draw the line. Since it is a 'less than' inequality, we would shade the region below this line. This shaded area would represent all possible combinations of c and p that make the inequality true.
