    a). 6 n≤60, n≤10

    b). The maximum number of books you can buy=10

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a). Step 1: Derive expression

    Total cost of the books can be expressed as;

    T=p*n

    where;

    T=total cost of book

    p=cost per book

    n=number of books to be bought

    In our case;

    T=$60

    p=$60

    n=n

    replacing;

    Since she has a limited budget of $60, the total cost of the book should not surpass $60

    60≥6*n

    6 n≤60

    b). n=60/6=10

    The maximum number of books you can buy=10
