Answer: A. $6x + $27 < $87

Explanation:

Your question says “...x represents the number of times he eats out”, when he eats out its $6, so that means obviously that the x would be by the 6 and the less then symbol would be facing 87 cause your wont to spend less then that amout.

Have a good day and stay safe :)
