He has 14 coins what are either 10 dollars or 2 dollars, total amount is not greater than 95, how many 10 coins he has?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let x = # of 10-dollar coins.
Then the number of 2-dollar coins is (14-x).


The value expression is value = 10x + 2*(14-x) dollars.


Your inequality is

10x + 2*(14-x) <= 95  ====>


Simplify and solve it step by step:


10x + 28 - 2x <= 95,

8x <= 95 - 28 = 67.  ====>  x <= 8


Answer.  Less than 9.

Solved.


----------------
Regarding the answer by @MathTherapy, I want to underline one more time:

    The correct answer is "the number of 10-dollar coins is less than 9", 

    which means N <= 8,   BUT NOT NECESSARY N=8.
