Answer:


(A)5+2.75S\leqslant21

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a train ticket consists of an initial fee of $5 plus a fee of $2.75 per stop.

Let S represent the number of stops that Julia buys.

Therefore, the price of S stops will be:


5+2.75\cdot S

Since Julia has $21, it means the total cost of her ticket must either be less than or equal to $21.

Therefore, the inequality which describes this scenario will be:


5+2.75S\leqslant21

The correct option is A.
