each multimedia equipment costs 1900.

letting x = the number of multimedia equipment, your inequality would be:

1900 * x <= 35000

solve for x to get x <= 35000 / 1900 = 18.42105263

if you buy 18, the cost is 18 * 1900 = 34200
if you buy 19, the cost is 19 * 1900 = 36100

your answer would be 18 because anything more than that exceeds your budget.
