You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2.50x+2y<=50
x intercept is when y=0, and she can buy 20 bags of chips.
y-intercept is when x=0, and she can buy 25 bottles of soda.
The intercepts represent all the money on one item.
There are many such solutions, but one would be 16 bags of chips and 5 bottles of soda.
