To determine the appropriate inequality that describes the maximum number of Combo B meals the teacher can purchase, we need to identify the total cost of the meals based on the number of Combo B meals (denoted as \( x \)).
The cost for each Combo B meal is $8.99. If the teacher buys \( x \) Combo B meals, the total cost would be \( 8.99x \). The teacher has a budget of up to $180, which means the total cost must be less than or equal to 180.
Therefore, the correct inequality to describe the scenario is:
\[ 8.99x \leq 180 \]
However, since the options provided do not include an "equal to" sign and only include inequalities, we can simplify this to:
- Option **(c)**: \( 8.99x < 180 \), which indicates that the total cost must be less than $180.
So the correct choice is **(c)**: \( 8.99x < 180 \).
