The correct inequality that represents the situation is:
**15x + 20y ≤ 150**
This inequality indicates that the total cost of soccer balls (15x) and footballs (20y) should not exceed the budget of $150. The "≤" symbol indicates that the director can spend up to $150 but not more.
**15x + 20y ≤ 150**
This inequality indicates that the total cost of soccer balls (15x) and footballs (20y) should not exceed the budget of $150. The "≤" symbol indicates that the director can spend up to $150 but not more.
