1. **State the problem:** The total bill for a lawnmower and 15 drawer pulls is within a $400 budget. The lawnmower costs 325. We need to find the maximum cost of each drawer pull.
2. **Define variables:** Let $x$ be the cost of one drawer pull.
3. **Write the inequality:** The total cost is the cost of the lawnmower plus the cost of 15 drawer pulls, which must be less than or equal to 400.
$$325 + 15x \leq 400$$
4. **Isolate $x$:** Subtract 325 from both sides.
$$15x \leq 400 - 325$$
$$15x \leq 75$$
5. **Divide both sides by 15:**
$$\cancel{15}x \leq \frac{75}{\cancel{15}}$$
$$x \leq 5$$
6. **Interpretation:** The maximum cost of each drawer pull is 5.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{5}$$
Drawer Pull Cost 0C95D5
