Sasha wants to buy some dresses over the Internet. Each dress costs $7.15 and has a shipping cost of $9.95 per order. If Sasha wants to spend no more than $60 for her dresses, which inequality shows the maximum number of dresses, p, that she can buy?

9.95 − 7.15p ≤ 60, so p ≤ 4
9.95p + 7.15p ≤ 60, so p ≤ 5
9.95p − 7.15p ≤ 60, so p ≤ 6
9.95 + 7.15p ≤ 60, so p ≤ 7

well the cost of the dresses and shipping need to be less than or equal to $60

so the only inequalities show the sum of 2 terms is the 2nd and 4th

so you need to decide with meets the conditions of the question... 

the way it reads, if you order 2 dresses the shipping cost is the same as when you order 1 dress... or 5 dresses...
