I get a bit confused so I hope someone can help with this question

Consider the total amount that you are willing to spend on the buisness and how much it will cost you to make your items. Write an inequality that represents the fact that while making each item you cannot exceed this limit. Be sure to include the cost per item in this inequality.

background information:

My budget-$200
How many cookies- 120
Cost to make cookies-$15.00
Sale price per cookie-$0.50

To write an inequality that represents the fact that while making each item you cannot exceed the limit of your budget, you need to consider the cost per item.

Let's break down the information you have:

Budget = $200
Number of cookies = 120
Cost to make each cookie = $15.00

To find the total cost of making all the cookies, you can multiply the number of cookies by the cost per cookie:

Total cost to make cookies = Number of cookies * Cost per cookie

In this case, the total cost to make 120 cookies would be:

Total cost to make cookies = 120 * $15.00

To represent the fact that the total cost to make cookies should not exceed your budget of $200, you can write the following inequality:

Total cost to make cookies ≤ Budget

Using the values given:

120 * $15.00 ≤ $200

Simplifying:

$1800 ≤ $200

Since $1800 is not less than or equal to $200, this inequality is not true.

However, if the objective is to represent the fact that the cost per cookie should not exceed your budget, you can write the following inequality:

Cost per cookie ≤ Budget

Using the values given:

$15.00 ≤ $200

In this case, the inequality is true.

So, the correct inequality that represents the fact that while making each item you cannot exceed the budget is:

Cost per cookie ≤ Budget
