First, subtract the cost of the book and lunch from Emma's total amount: $26 - $12.81 - $10.00 = $3.19
Then divide this amount by the cost per package of stickers to find the maximum number of packages Emma can buy: $3.19 / $0.42 = 7.60, which rounds down to 7 packages.
Therefore, the maximum number of packages (p) Emma can buy is 7.
The correct answer is A) p≤7.
