Answer:

  less than 4.7 gigs

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of Janelys's cell phone plan will be the sum of the flat cost and the product of the per-gig cost and the number of gigs of data she uses.

  y = 46.50 +5g

She wants this to be less than $70 per month, so we can find the constraint on her data usage from ...

  46.50 +5g < 70

  5g < 23.50 . . . . . . . . subtract 46.50

  g < 4.7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

Janelys must use less than 4.7 gigs of data to stay within her budget.
