A. The inequality is: $5.00 - 2.25 \geq x$, where $x$ represents the amount of money you can still spend.

B. Solving the inequality:

$5.00 - 2.25 \geq x$

$2.75 \geq x$

Therefore, you can spend no more than $2.75.
x </= 5.00 - 2.25

x </= 2.75
Yes, you are correct. Another way to write it is $x \leq 2.75$.
