Question

You are a farmer and want to spend under $35,000 on farm equipment. You need a hay bailer that costs $6,250 and several plowing disks cost $2,500 each. Write an inequality that models how many plowing disks could be purchased within your budget. What is the maximum number of plowing disks you can buy?

Answer 1

35,000
`\geq`6,250+2500x because the maximum number of plowing disks are unknown but the price of multiple disks plus the cost of a hay bailer must be less than or equal to 35000.

Answer 2

2,500x+6,250=35,000

x= # of plowing disks
