Given:
Cost of each candy = $5
Maximum amount of candy he can buy = 8
Let's find the possible amount he will spend on candy.
Given that he will buy at most 8 pounds of candy, this means the total amount he will spend on candy will not be more than 8 pounds.
From the situation, we have the inequality:
[tex]5c\leq8[/tex]
Where c represents the amount he will spend on candy.
From the inequality above, let's solve for c.
To find c, divide both sides by 5:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5c}{5}\leq\frac{8}{5} \\ \\ c\leq1.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, Aldo will spend at most $1.6 on candy.
ANSWER:
[tex]\begin{gathered} inequality\colon5c\leq8 \\ \\ c\leq1.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
