The phrase "at most" means that it is the largest value a variable can take on. When I say: "I have 'at most' 10 dollars", this means that the maximum amount of money I have is $10. I could have less than $10, but the most I have is $10. Algebraically, if 'x' is the amount of money I have, then this translates to x%3C=10
