Answer:

(n * ⅕) - 6 ≤ 99

Explanation:

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

(n * ⅕) - 6 ≤ 99

Opening the bracket, we have;

n/5 - 6 ≤ 99

Rearranging the equation, we have;

n/5 ≤ 99 + 6

n/5 ≤ 105

Multiplying both sides by 5, we have;

5 * n/5 ≤ 105 * 5

n ≤ 525
