Sagot :

Answer:

($19 - $7.25) - $2.75 ÷ (0.50p) ≤ 19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the variable:

p = pretzel packages

Let's first find out how much money Ben has after buying the notebook.

$19 - $7.25 = $11.75

So, we know that Ben has $11.75 left.

The inequality would be: ($19 - $7.25) - $2.75 ÷ (0.50p) ≤ 19
