Layla has allotted $76 for gifts while on vacation. She plans to buy a souvenir for her parents for $16 and spend the rest on 4 T-shirts for her friends. If x represents the price, in dollars, of a T-shirt, which inequality correctly represents the money Layla will spend on souvenirs?

4x + 16 ≤ 76

16x + 4 ≤ 76

4x + 16 ≥ 76

16x + 4 ≥ 76

$76 is the maximum amount she can spend, since she has only $76. So, the total amount of money she spends has to be less than or equal to $76. One shirt costs x dollars, and she's buying 4 shirts, so she will spend 4x on shirts. The souvenir is $16. So she spends 4x+16 total, and this has to be less than or equal to 76:
4x+16<=76
