At most 12 peppers can be bought with $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total amount for peppers = $18

Cost per pepper = $1.50

Let p be the number of peppers that can be bought from $18 at $1.50 per pepper

So,

[tex]1.50p\leq 18[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 1.50

[tex]\frac{1.50p}{1.50}\leq \frac{18}{1.50}\\p\leq 12[/tex]

Hence,

At most 12 peppers can be bought with $18
