Answer:

At least means ≥

No more than means ≤

Let x = number of bags of potato chips

Let y = the number of bags of corn chips

x+y≥100

2.50x+2.90y≤$350

Let's try x=80 and y=20 (We know that is equals 100 so it will work for the first equation

2.50(80)+2.90(20) = 258 which is ≤$350

Buy 80 bags of potato chips and 20 bags of corn chips is one possibility.
