Mrs. Leary wants to buy some plants and potting soil. Each plant costs $2.50 and each bag of potting soil costs $3.25. Mrs. Leary wants to spend no more than $50. If Mrs. Leary buys 4 bags of potting soil, which inequality represents the number of plants, p, that she may buy?

3.25 times 4 equals 13. So, the plant cost needs to add up to 37. 37 divided by 2.5 is 14.8, or rounded, 15. So she can buy around 15 plants.

50 - 13/2.5 would be the inequality i think.

Please tell me if I did this the wrong way or not.
