    You did not give the options.

    the inequality would be

    22>.75 (7) + 1.25 (b)

    -

    this simplifies to 22 > 5.25 + 1.25 (b)

    -

    You subtract 5.25 from both sides to get

    16.75>1.25b

    _

    Divide both sides by 1.25 to get b by itself

    to get

    13.4> b

    _

    This means that she can buy at most 13 bottles because you cannot buy part of a bottle

    So the equation is 13>b

    -

    The number of bottles she can buy is at most 13

    P. S Dash under greater than sign it won't let me type it
