Answer:

He can buy up to 55 care packages

Step-by-step explanation:

c = certificates

p = packages

6.25p + 4.50c ≤ 550

c = 45

6.25p + 4.50(45) ≤  550

6.25p + 202.50 ≤  550

Subtract 202.50 from each side

6.25p + 202.50 -202.50 ≤  550-202.50

6.25p  ≤  347.50

Divide each side by 6.25

6.25p/6.25  ≤  347.50/6.25

p  ≤  55.6

Since we cannot buy part of a care package

p ≤55
