Answer:

y < 50x

Explanation:

In order to graph this inequality, you first need to identify the important word(s) here to find the inequality sign; in this case, it would be "maximum of $50" a month. Since it's a maximum of $50 a month (or less than $50 a month), you can write it as:

Where m is months and c is total cost, c < 50m

If you need to graph this, you can write it as y < 50x. The cost is y since it's the output, and months is x since that's the input.
