Answer 6

so we know she has $18 but she wants to save 9.75 so we subtract that from 18
leaving 8.25
now we setup the inequality
she wants to buy the maximum number so it has to be less than or equal to 8.75

Answer 13

lets use c for crackers
each cracker,c cost 50 cents
so
\[0.5c \le 8.25\]
now divide by 0.5 on both sides
