Answer:

2.50x+1.75y<=200

Explanation:

Consider the data

Total amount of money available $200

Cost of cedar is $2.50 per feet. The the cost of pine $1.75 per feet

x=# of feet of cedar brought

y=# of feet of pine brought

As the cost of cedar wood is $2.50 and x is the # of feet of cedar brought, so the total cost of # of the wood is $2.50x

As the cost of pine is $1.75 and y is the # of feet of pine brought, so the total cost of # of the wood is $1.75y

The total cost of the # of cedar and pine woods together is

$2.50x+$1.75y

And the total amount available is 200, and it doesn't exceed so

$2.50x+$1.75y<= 200

Answer:

$2.5X + $1.75Y = $200

Explanation:

Total amount of money budgeted for the outdoor furniture = $200

1 foot of Cedar wood costs $2.50

1 foot of Pine wood costs $1.75

The number of feet of cedar wood that can be used is denoted by X

The number of feet of pine wood that can be used is denoted by Y

Thus, $2.5 multiplied by X shows the cost of X number of cedar wood I.e. $2.5x

$1.75 multiplied by Y shows the cost of Y number of pine wood i.e. $1.75Y

Therefore, the amount of foot cedar wood bought and pine wood bought must equal the budgeted amount i.e.

$2.5X + $1.75Y = $200
