Answer:

2.5n ≤ 15

Explanation:

Let n = number of times

Each toll is $2.50, so the toll for n trips is n times $2.50, or 2.5n.

The total amount of money available is $15, so 2.5n must be less than or equal to 15.

Inequality:

2.5n ≤ 15

(In case you're asked next, here is the solution of the inequality:

Divide both sides by 2.5.

2.5n/2.5 ≤ 15/2.5

n ≤ 6

A person can drive up to 6 times with $6.)
