Answer:

8 photos is the max number; correct answer is "8 or fewer photos."

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a formula for the photographer's total charges and use the operator "≤" to link this formula to $50:

$15 + ($4/photo)x ≤ $50.

Solve this for x, the number of photographs that can be purchased:

Subtracting $15 from both sides yields:

$15 + ($4/photo)x ≤ $50  =>  ($4/photo)x ≤ $35, or

x ≤ $35/($4/photo) = 8.75

Since we're interested onlyl in whole photos, we round this result down to 8.  That's the number of photos that can be purchased for $50 or less.
