    A bakery has a fixed cost of $119.75 per a day plus $2.25 for each pastry. The bakery would like to keep its daily costs at or below $500 per day. Which inequality shows the maximum number of pastries, p, that can be baked each day.

    Set up the cost function C(p), where p is the number of pastries:
    C(p) = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
    C(p) = 2.25p + 119.75

    The problem asks for C(p) at or below $500 per day. The phrase at or below means less than or equal to (<=).
    2.25p + 119.75 <= 500
