Henry can only use 2 gigabyte of data in other to stay within his budget.

To solve :

Flat fee = $63.50

Price per gigabytes = $5

Total budget = $77.50

Let the number of gigabyte = g

Expressing the problem as a mathematical expression :

  • Total budget = flat fee + (price per gigabyte × number of gigabytes)

63.50 + 5g ≤ 77.50

Collect like terms

63.50 - 77.50 ≤ - 5g

-14 ≤ - 5g

Divide bith sides by - 5 to isolate g

-14 / - 5 ≤ g

2.8 ≤ g

Therefore, to stay within his budget he must not use beyond 2.8 gigabyte of data.

If a whole number value is required, then he can only use 2 gigabyte of data in other to stay within his budget.
