Answer:

[tex]\bold {3.25+5.50S \le 30}[/tex] is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Chocolate milk already ordered for the cost of $3.25.

Maximum bill that Benjamin wants = $30

Cost of a stack pancake = $5.50

Number of stacks of pancakes bought = S

It is given that all the money available is to be spent on 1 chocolate milk and S number of stacks of pancakes.

Cost of 1 pancake = $5.50

Cost of S number of stacks of  pancakes = [tex]\text{Number of stacks of pancakes} \times \text{Cost of each pancake}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]S \times 5.50 = 5.50S[/tex]

So, total money spent = $3.25+5.50S

Now, this money should be lesser than or equal to $30 because maximum bill that Benjamin wants is $30.

So, the inequality can be written as:

[tex]\bold{3.25+5.50S \le 30}[/tex]
