Explanation:

Step1: Analyze "less than 240"

The phrase "less than" translates to $s < 240$.

"At least" means greater than or equal to: $s \geq 2.5$.

Step3: Analyze "no more than 6"

"No more than" means less than or equal to: $t \leq 6$.

Step4: Analyze "more than 50"

"More than" translates to $r > 50$.

"At least" means greater than or equal to: $m \geq 30$.

Step6: Analyze "max $25 gift card"

Cannot spend more than $25: $c \leq 25$.
