Answer: 37 Notebooks

Explanation:

Set up and inequality equation where x is the unknown amount of notebooks Mr. Richmond can purchase.

1.60x less than or equal to $60.

Inverse Operations 60/1.60 = 37.5

But, round down, since you can't buy half a notebook so;

Mr. Richmond can purchase 37 notebooks.
