Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\text{5.00 lb}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}1.20x + 3.60 & \leq & 9.60\\1.20x & \leq & 6.00\\x &\leq & \mathbf{5.00}\\\end{array}\\\text{Rammy can buy $\large \boxed{\textbf{5.00 lb}}$ of peaches.}[/tex]

Check:

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}1.20(5.00) + 3.60 & \leq & 9.60\\6.00 + 3.60 & \leq & 9.60\\9.60 & \leq & 9.60\\\end{array}[/tex]

OK.

The number of pounds of peaches that Rammy can buy is 5 pounds.

Based on the information given in the question, the equation to solve the question will be:

1.20x + 3.60 ≤ 9.60

Collect like terms

1.20x ≤ 9.60 - 3.60

1.20x ≤ 6.00

Divide both side by 1.20

1.20x/1.20 ≤ 6.00/1.20

x ≤ 5.00

Therefore, the number of pounds of peaches that Rammy can buy is 5 pounds
