Question 23854
First, we need the amount of money we have available for the granola, which we get by subtracting $0.69 from the $3, giving $2.31 left.  Now, we write an inequality for the (pounds of granola)=p we can afford.  Granola is $1.96/pound, so we can say 1.96p</=2.31, where "</=" is what I am using to say "less than or equal to."
We can now solve this inequality by dividing 2.31 by 1.96 to get the maximum amout of pounds we can afford.
