Question

Maple grove wants to include two types of maple trees, the namesake of the city, for their parks. Two varieties of maple trees have been selected. One variety costs $75 per tree; the other more colorful variety costs $90 per tree. The tree budget must not exceed $70,000. Citizens want more of the colorful $90 trees than the others if possible.

Answer 1

Answer:

$75x+90y\leq 70000$

$y\geq x$ or $x\leq y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is :

Two varieties of maple trees have been selected.

Let the first variety of trees be = x

Let the second colorful variety of trees be = y

One variety costs $75 per tree; $75x$

The other more colorful variety costs $90 per tree; $90y$

Given is - The tree budget must not exceed $70,000. This means the total cost of the trees should be less than or equal to 70000.

Thus, the equation forms:

$75x+90y\leq 70000$

Also given is - Citizens want more of the colorful $90 trees than the others if possible.

The equation will be :

$y\geq x$ or $x\leq y$

Answer 2

75x+90y<=70,000 x<=y
