Maggie is shopping for her friend's party. She has a budget of $40 to spend. She needs to get a banner for $25 and candy necklaces that cost $1.25 each. Write an inequality for the budget.

Let n be the necklaces. Since Maggie can spend up to $40, we have the following inequality:
1.25n + 25 <=40

If you have to solve for n in the inequality, we type it in our math engine and we get:
n < = 12
