Answer:

The maximum number of gumballs you can buy is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---->represents the number of gumballs you can buy

we know that

The number of gumballs you can buy multiplied by it cost must be less than or equal to $2.50 (two dollars and 50 cents)

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

[tex]0.25x\leq 2.50[/tex]

solve for x

Divide both sides by 0.25

[tex]x\leq 10[/tex]

therefore

The maximum number of gumballs you can buy is 10
