Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of bags of bird food that he can buy.

Let c represent the number of bags of cat food that he can buy.

Bags of bird food cost $17 each. This means that the total cost of b bags of bird food would be

17 * b = $17b

Bags of cat food costs $6 each. This means that the total cost of c bags of cat food would be

6 * c = $6c

Craig has $102 to but food for his cats and birds.

The inequality to represent this situation would be

17b + 6c ≤ 102
