Answer:

  • Let the number of cookies is x and cupcakes is y.
  • Bob will spend 2x dollars on cookies and 3y dollars on cupcakes.
  • Total amount is limited to $24.

Requires inequality is:

  • 2x + 3y ≤ 24
  • Let the number of cookies be a
  • Number of cupcakes be b

  • Cost of a cookies=2a
  • Cost of b cookies=3b

The inequality is
