Answer 1

The correct option is;

C. 3.25 + 5.50·S ≤ 30

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The cost of the chocolate milk ordered = $3.25

The unit quantity of pancake sales = Stack

The number of pancakes in a stack = 4

The amount a stack of four pancakes is sold = $5.50

The number of pancakes Benjamin wants to buy = As many as he can

The number of stacks of pancakes Benjamin buys = S

The cost of the pancakes Benjamin buys = $5.5 × S

The cost of the number of pancakes Benjamin buys

The maximum amount Benjamin wants his bill to amount to = $30

Therefore we have;

The cost of chocolate milk ordered + The cost of pancakes Benjamin buys ≤ $30

Which gives;

$3.25 + $5.50 × S ≤ $30

Therefore, the correct option is 3.25 + 5.50·S ≤ 30.
