OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol but how would you write it as an inequality? @DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

you have a maximum of 45 and already have 13, so you are left with 32 or less pounds, in other words you have UP TO 32 more pounds available Pounds p is less than or equal to 32 pounds.

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[p \le 32\]
