Let x be the number of days.
45x+165x< 750 (The less than sign should actually be less than or equal to.
Which simplifies to 210x<750
Basically all you have to do is take the cost for food each day and the cost of the room for each day (45 and 165) and multiply each by the number of days (x). and that number has to be less than or equal to the total amount she is willing to spend
