    Answer:

    Inequality: 25x + 50 \leq\ 225

    Number of Friends: At most 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Concert = \$ 25

    Food\ and\ Shirts= \$50

    Amount = \$225

    Solving (a): Inequality

    Let the number of friends including Jessica be represented by x

    Per individual, the concert is 25

    For x individuals, the concert is 25x

    Since she will be spending at most 225,

    the inequality can be represented as:

    25x + 50 \leq\ 225

    Solving (b): Number of friends

    This implies that we solve for x in (a) above

    25x + 50 \leq\ 225

    25x \leq\ 225 - 50

    25x \leq\ 175

    Divide through by 25

    x \leq\ 175/25

    x \leq\ 7

    Since the value of x above also include Jessica;

    This implies that she will be able to bring at most 6 friends
