Answer:

$2g + 10 \leq 25$

Explanation:

Given

$Games = \$2$ per game

$Food = \$10$

$Total = \$25$ at most

Required

Represent using an inequality

Represent the number of games with g

So, if 1 game costs $2,

g games would cost $2 * g

Since, I will be spending on games and food, my spending can be calculates as:

Games + Food

From the question, we understand that total spending is at most $25.

The term at most means
$\leq$

So, the expression can be represented as:

$Games + Food \leq Total$

This gives:

$2 * g + 10 \leq 25$

$2g + 10 \leq 25$

The above inequality models the scenario
