Let "x" represent the number of lemonades you are willing to purchase for your business start-up.

Since you are willing to spend a maximum amount, the cost of purchasing the lemonades should not exceed the total amount you are willing to spend.

The cost of purchasing one glass of lemonade is $1 and the customer will pay $2.50 for one glass of lemonade. Therefore, the total cost of purchasing "x" glasses of lemonade can be represented as $x.

Hence, the inequality representing the maximum amount you are willing to spend on your business start-up is:

$x \leq \text{Maximum amount you are willing to spend}$
