5S + 3.5W <=160

Explanation:

The computation of minimizes these costs for Larry is shown below:-

Slamon Fish $5 per pound.

Local Whitefish = $3.50 per pound.

Assume Larry purchase of Salmon = S Pounds

and Local white fish = W

Larry cost spent of Salmon = 5S

Larry spent of White fish = 3.5W

Minimise Z = 5S + 3.5W

5S + 3.5W <=160

So, The cost condition is maximum.
