To represent the situation where Tony wants to buy movie tickets, we can create an inequality based on the cost of the tickets and the amount of money he has.
Let \( x \) represent the number of tickets Tony can purchase.
Since each ticket costs $10, the total cost for \( x \) tickets would be \( 10x \). Tony has $20, so the inequality that represents how many tickets he can buy is:
\[
10x \leq 20
\]
In words, this inequality can be expressed as: "The total cost of the tickets, which is ten times the number of tickets Tony can buy, must be less than or equal to twenty dollars."
