Hey there! The answer is 7x + 4y < 40

Let's first rearrange our data in a more structured way.

x represents a box of wings which has a cost of $7.00. Therefore the total cost of the boxes is 7x.

y represents a tray of nachos which has a cost of $4.00. Therefore the total cost of the trays is 4y.

The sum of the costs of trays and boxes, which is (7x + 4y) must be smaller than $40.

Now we can set up the inequality.
[tex]7x + 4y < 40[/tex]
