Cost = 250 + 9x, where x is the number of square feet you are going to cover, x ≤ 750
Did you forget to include a maximum amount you wanted to spend?
Suppose you want to use hardwood flooring for most of a 750 square foot apartment. Labor costs are $250 plus a $2 feet per square foot of installation. The cost per square foot of hardwood flooring is $7.00. Write an inequality to show the square feet in the apartment you would have a budget for installing hardwood flooring.Can you explain to me how to take the figures in this question and put them into an inequality? Thank you.

No. The question does not include a maximum amount.
