Answer:

2.75y ≤ 10.01; 3 skeins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the number of skeins

Then,

2.75y + 14.99 ≤ 25

2.75y ≤ 10.01

y ≤ 10.01/2.75

y ≤ 3.64

She can afford at max 3 skeins, because number of skeins has to be a whole number

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make an inequality

14.99 + 2.75y ≤ 25

Step 2:  Solve for y

14.99 + 2.75y ≤ 25

14.99 + 2.75y - 14.99 ≤ 25 - 14.99

2.75y / 2.75 ≤ 10.01 / 2.75

y ≤ 3.64

Answer:  The most skins that she can buy is 3 because she can get 3.64 but she can only get 3 full ones.
