Write the linear inequality in standard form for this situation: Mr. Bill Dauterive goes full Billdozer and is smashing pizzas and loaded breadsticks at the local Olive Garden. Problem is- he's got a budget of no more than $100. An order of breadsticks costs $5 and a pizza costs $12.

• 5x + 12y < 100

• 12x + 5y ≥ 100

• 5x + 12y ≤ 100

• 5x + 12y > 100
