Anika wants to determine the maximum number of tulip bulbs (t) she can purchase if each bulb costs $2.25. She will also need to purchase separate pots for each bulb at $3.50 each and a bag of potting soil for $15.00. Set up an inequality to determine how many tulip bulbs Anika can purchase without spending more than $25.00, and solve it. Can Anika buy exactly enough bulbs and pots to spend the full $25.00? Can you think of a better inequality to describe the answer? Complete the explanation. The inequality to determine how many tulip bulbs Anika can purchase without spending more than $25.00 is
