To represent Tyler having money left over after buying flowers, you would write the inequality:

\[ 6s + 11 < 41 \]

This indicates that the total amount spent on flowers (the left side of the inequality) is less than $41. This means Tyler is leaving some money from his original $41 to save or spend elsewhere.
