    So, she has 50 - 20 = $30 for buying bananas. From where each banana costs 6, so lets say that the number of bananas is x, so we have:

    6x < = 30

    that is, x bananas at $6 each has to be less or equal to the available $30

    Christina has 50 dollars, and she spends 20 on a papaya. So, 50 - 20 = 30 dollars left.

    So whatever amount of bananas she buys, it has to be < 30. No greater than 30 dollars; or less than 30 dollars, however you choose to say it.

    We don't know the amount of bananas (you could figure it out, but i am not sure that is what they are asking)

    So, because we do not know how many shes buying, we use the variable x. And each banana is 6 dollars.

    So, X bananas x 6 dollars < 30

    I would say it would look something like : 6x < 30 or 6 · X < 30
