To represent the scenario with an inequality, let's define the variable \( n \) as the number of notebooks the student wants to buy.
The total cost of the calculator is $24, and each notebook costs $2. Therefore, the total cost for the calculator and the notebooks can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 24 + 2n
\]
The student has a budget of $37, so we can write the inequality that represents the situation:
\[
24 + 2n \leq 37
\]
This inequality describes the maximum number of notebooks \( n \) that the student can buy while staying within his budget.
