To translate the sentence into an inequality, we need to identify the variable and the mathematical operations involved.

Let's assign the variable "b" to the number.

The sentence states that "A number b increased by 9 is at most 30."

The phrase "increased by 9" can be represented mathematically as "b + 9."

The phrase "at most" indicates that the quantity on the left side should not exceed the quantity on the right side.

Therefore, we can write the inequality as:

b + 9 ≤ 30
