Answer

The maximum number of boxes that one can buy with 30 dollars is 6 boxes of strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation

One box of strawberries cost 5 dollars.

If one buys x boxes of strawberries, the cost would be (5x) dollars.

So, if one has 30 dollars, we want to find the maximum number of boxes that the person can buy, that is, the maximum value of x

5x ≤ 30

Divide both sides by 5

(5x/5) ≤ (30/5)

x ≤ 6

The number of boxes that one can buy is less than or equal to 6.

Hence, the maximum number of boxes that one can buy with 30 dollars is 6 boxes of strawberries.

Hope this Helps!!!
