The correct inequality that represents the situation is:
**15x + 20y ≤ 150**
This inequality states that the total cost of the soccer balls (15x, where x is the number of soccer balls) and the footballs (20y, where y is the number of footballs) must be less than or equal to $150, since the athletic director can spend no more than that amount.
