To represent the scenario with an inequality, we need to account for the total cost of the calculator and the notebooks. The calculator costs $24, and each notebook costs $2. The student has a total of $37 to spend.
Let \( n \) represent the number of notebooks the student buys. The total amount spent can be expressed as:
\[
24 + 2n
\]
The student wants to make sure that this total cost does not exceed the amount he has, which is $37. Therefore, we can set up the inequality as:
\[
24 + 2n \leq 37
\]
This inequality describes the scenario where the student can buy some number of notebooks without exceeding his budget.
