he can spend 89 dollars.
he already spent 34 dollars.
what he has left is 89 minus 34 = 55 dollars.
that's how much he can still spend.
the inequality to model this would be:
y <= 89 - x
y represents how much he can still spend.
x represents how much he already spent.
when x = 34, y <= 89 - x becomes y <= 89 - 34 which becomes y <= 55.
