Answer: [tex]p+m\geq8[/tex]

[tex]2.50p+4m\leq 30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the number of posters and m be number of magnets.

Cost of a postcard book = $2.50

Cost of a magnet = $4.00

Shandra wants to buy them for at least eight friends.

So, [tex]p+m\geq8[/tex]

She can spend  up to $30 altogether.

So, [tex]2.50p+4m\leq 30[/tex]

Hence, the system  of inequalities to represent the situation:

[tex]p+m\geq8[/tex]

[tex]2.50p+4m\leq 30[/tex]
