Solution

The correct inequality to use to answer the problem is A. 7x + 3y + 5 ≤ 50. This inequality takes into account the cost of the salads (7x), the cost of the drinks (3y), and the delivery charge (+5), and states that the total cost must be less than or equal to the amount of money Valerie has ($50).
