1. Write down the inequality for the total cost:

325 + 15x \leq 400

2. Subtract the cost of the lawnmower from both sides to isolate the drawer pulls' cost:

15x \leq 400 - 325

15x \leq 75

3. Divide both sides by 15 to solve for x :

x \leq \frac{75}{15}

x \leq 5

The maximum cost of each drawer pull is

x \leq 5
