To solve this problem, we need to formulate an inequality based on the given information. Let's assume that you can buy "x" CDs. Since each CD costs $11.99, the total cost of "x" CDs can be calculated as 11.99 * x.

According to the problem statement, you have $59.95 in your wallet. So, the amount you can afford to spend on CDs should be less than or equal to your current balance. In other words, we can write the inequality as:

11.99 * x ≤ 59.95

To solve this inequality, we will isolate the variable "x" by dividing both sides of the inequality by 11.99:

x ≤ 59.95 / 11.99

Calculating the right-hand side gives us:

x ≤ 4.998

Since you cannot buy a fraction of a CD, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you can buy a maximum of 4 CDs with $59.95 in your wallet.
