Answer 1

the answer is

`2c + 4b \geqslant 500`
the key word here was at least, which means the farmer wants to make the equal or more than $500. Since the corn cost $2 and its selling per pound, depending on how many pound of corn (c) and the blueberries per pound (b) which are $4, leading to the first part of the inequality.
