Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to write the requested inequality and graph the situation, so we obtain the following:

So if we take x to be the value of an apple, we have the following inequality:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 10x+10(0.6)\leq9 \\ 10x+6\leq9 \\ 10x\leq3 \\ x\leq0.3 \\ (\text{ \$}0.6+\text{ \$}0.3)x\leq\text{ \$}9 \\ \begin{cases}0Now, let's graph it:

Where the solution of the equation is the set where the color yellow and purple intersect.
