Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Kendra buys  x pounds lettuce.

If lettuce costs $2.25 per pound.

Then for x pounds of lettuce,

cost=2.25x


Kendra buys  y pounds tomatoes.

If tomatoes costs $2.65 per pound.

Then for y pounds of tomatoes,

cost=2.65y


So, total cost=2.25x+2.65y

Now, this total cost will be at least  $8

So, the inequality is-

[tex]2.25x+2.65y\geq8[/tex]
