Let x be the number of tickets Jun Wei purchases.
The value of x is some positive whole number.
1 ticket costs 12.50*1 = $12.50
2 tickets cost 12.50*2 = $25
3 tickets cost 12.50*3 = $37.50
4 tickets cost 12.50*4 = $50
and so on...
The general pattern is
x tickets cost 12.50*x dollars
The expression 12.50*x represents the total amount of dollars Jun Wei spends. We want this total to be $250 or smaller.
Divide both sides by 12.50 to undo the multiplication.
The maximum number of tickets Jun Wei can buy is 20 tickets.
Note how 12.50*20 = 250 which is the max amount that can be spent. That helps confirm the answer.
