Let's carefully analyze the given scenario step by step:
1. Initial Money and Expenses:
- Alonso has [tex]$21.
- He spends $[/tex]2.50 on eggs.
2. Money Left After Buying Eggs:
- Total money left = [tex]$21 - $[/tex]2.50.
3. Cost of Avocado Bags:
- Each bag of avocados costs [tex]$5.
4. Number of Bags of Avocados:
- Let \( B \) represent the number of bags of avocados Alonso wants to buy.
5. Forming the Inequality:
- The total cost Alonso can spend on avocados must be less than or equal to the remaining money after buying eggs.
- Thus, the cost of eggs plus the cost of \( B \) bags of avocados should be less than or equal to his initial $[/tex]21.
6. Constructing the Inequality:
- The inequality representing the total money spent on eggs and avocado bags can be written as:
[tex]\[
2.50 + 5B \leq 21
\][/tex]
Therefore, the correct inequality representing this scenario is:
(A) [tex]\( 2.50 + 5B \leq 21 \)[/tex].
