Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
15 </= budgeted spending </=20
if 2 sketchpads cost $10, and pencils cost $1 each
then she can buy from 5 to 10 pencils
staying within her budget
if 2 sketchpads cost x dollars and pencils cost y dollars
then she can buy (15-x)/y to (20-x)/y pencils
plug in x=10, y=1 and she can buy from 5 to 10 pencils
