To describe the scenario with an inequality, we start with the costs involved.
1. The student wants to buy a calculator that costs $24.
2. Each notebook costs $2, and the number of notebooks purchased is represented by \( n \).
3. The total amount the student has to spend is $37.
The total cost of the calculator and the notebooks can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost of Calculator} + \text{Cost of Notebooks} = 24 + 2n
\]
The student cannot spend more than $37, so the inequality representing this situation is:
\[
24 + 2n \leq 37
\]
This inequality states that the total cost of the calculator and the notebooks must be less than or equal to the total amount the student has to spend.

I apologize for the confusion. Let's reevaluate the inequality step by step:
1. **Calculator Cost**: The calculator costs \$24.
2. **Notebook Cost**: Each notebook costs \$2.
3. **Total Money Available**: The student has \$37 to spend.
4. **Notebook Quantity**: Let \( n \) be the number of notebooks purchased.
The total cost can be written as:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 24 + 2n
\]
This total cost should not exceed the amount of money the student has, which gives us the inequality:
\[
24 + 2n \leq 37
\]
Now, let's simplify that inequality:
1. Subtract 24 from both sides:
\[
2n \leq 37 - 24
\]
2. Simplifying the right side:
\[
2n \leq 13
\]
3. Finally, divide by 2:
\[
n \leq 6.5
\]
Since \( n \) represents the number of notebooks and must be a whole number, we can say:
\[
n \leq 6
\]
Thus, the correct scenario should state that the student can buy at most 6 notebooks given the conditions of their budget. If your Kahoot question was phrased differently, do let me know, and we can clarify further!
