Romona has $18 that she can spend on food for her dog. Dry dog food cost 5.50 per small bag and wet dog food cost 2.00 per can. Write a linear inequality that describes how many bags and cans of food romona can buy

5.50x + 2y ≤ 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Romona has a total of $18 and she has to spend it on dog food.

Dry god food cost $5.50 per bag and wet dog food cost $2.00 per can.

We have to write an inequality to show the above condition.

Let the number of dry and wet dog food she buys be x and y.

The total cost of dog food must be less than $18.

Then,

5.50x + 2y ≤ 18

This is the required linear inequality.
