The inequality to represent the situation is p + 1 ≤ 15

Kelli cannot spend more than $14 on grapes

Writing an inequality to represent the situation

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

  • The number of pounds of grapes Kelli buys = 1
  • The price per pound of grapes. = p
  • Kelli's total budget = 15

Represented as an inequality, we have

p + 1 ≤ 15

The graph of the inequality expression is attached

Solving for p, we have

p ≤ 14

The solutions implies that the Kelli cannot spend more than $14 on grapes
