I will restate your question to be sure this is what you are asking:
Kyle has $50 to spend on sandwiches and chips. He already spent $6 on chips and now needs to know how many sandwiches he can buy if they cost $4.50 each.
If that is the question, then $50 is his maximum. So total cost of sandwiches 4.50s and total cost of chips ($6.00) has to be less than or equal to $50.
4.5s + 6 ≤ 50
s ≈ 9.8 so he can buy at most 9 sandwiches.
