You know that Layla has, at most, $76 to spend, so we will set the inequality as less than or equal to 76. Because she is planning on buying 4 t-shirts and x represents the price of a t-shirt, we will include 4x in our inequality. We will also add +16 to the inequality because she knows how much the souvenir will be for her parents, $16. This means the inequality will be 4x+16<=76, or A.
