Answer:

[tex]1.50S+2.50P<20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

  • The number of kilograms of salt is [tex]S[/tex].
  • The number of kilograms of pepper is [tex]P[/tex]
  • Noor wants to spend less than $20, that means he's gonna spend $18, $17, $16, ...
  • Salt per kg costs $1.50.
  • Pepper per kg costs $2.50

The cost of the salt would be expressed

[tex]1.50S[/tex]

The cost per kilogram of pepper would be

[tex]2.50P[/tex]

The whole problem is modelled by this inequality

[tex]1.50S+2.50P<20[/tex]

Basically, this expression states that Noow is not gonna pay $20 or more, and the price of salt per kg is $1.50 and $2.50 per kg of pepper.
