cost of tape: 4.95
no. of tape : x
budget : 37.85
4.95x < 37.85
+++
4.95x < 37.85
÷4.95 ÷4.95
x < 7.65
* you have to buy tapes that are less than 7.65
Assuming you bought 7 tapes.
4.95x < 37.85
4.95(7) < 37.85
34.65 < 37.85 *inequality is correct
If you buy more than 7 tapes, then, the cost of the tapes will be more than your budget. making the inequality incorrect.
