Given that,

He buys the same game for both brothers and pays $2.75 to ship each game, how much can he spend on each game without spending more than $100.

We need to solve the inequality for this situation.

Let he spent $x on each of the video game. ATQ,

[tex]2x+2\times 2.75\le 100\\\\2x+5.5\le 100\\\\2x\le 100-5.5\\\\2x\le 94.5\\\\x\le \$47.25[/tex]

So, he can spend less than or equal to $47.25 on each game.
