Cole has $35 to spend, so his admission to the park ($12.50) plus the number of games that he can play for $1.50 each must be less than or equal to $35. If "g" represents the number of games that Cole can play, then his "game tab" would be 1.5 * g. So, the inequality would be:
Admission + game tab <= 35 ... or
12.50 + (1.5 * g) <= 35
Subtracting 12.5 from each side of the inequality, we have:
1.5 * g <= 22.50
Dividing both sides by 1.5, we have:
g <= 15
So Cole can play 15 games or fewer.
