she wants to purchase shoes that cost $ 50
she wants to purchase socks that cost 2.20 each......so the expression for this is 2.20s...with s being the number of pairs of socks bought
and she only has $ 64....so she has to spend 64 or less...< = 64

so ur inequality would be :
50 + 2.20s < =  64.....subtract 50 from both sides
2.20s < = 64 - 50
2.20s < = 14...divide both sides by 2.20
s < = 14 / 2.20
s < = 6.36....so she can purchase 6 pairs of socks without going over

Livia has a total budget of $64.00.


Subtract the cost of the socks from the budget.

64 - 50 = 14

Next, divide 14 by 2.20.

14 ÷ 2.20 = 6.36

So, Livia can buy 6 pairs of socks.


I hope that helped! c:
