Question

Let x be the number of $75 trees and y thenumber of $95 trees. Which system ofinequalities represents this situation?Click on the correct answer.Maple Grove wants to include two typesof maple trees, the namesake of the city,for their parks. Two varieties of mapletrees have been selected. One varietycosts $75 per tree; the other morecolorful variety costs $95 per tree. Thetree budget must not exceed $85,000.Citizens want more of the colorful $95trees than the others if possible.75x + 95y 285,000x2y75x + 95y = 85,000x2 y75x + 95y = 85,000x sy75x + 95y 285,000xsy

Answer 1

Answer:x = number of $85 trees, y = number of $95 trees

Logically, we can construct the expression 85x + 95y to represent how much Maple Grove spends on their trees in total. They want this cost to be less than or equal to $95,000. This means that the inequality has to be 85x + 95y ≤ 95000, either choice a or b. Since the community wants more $95 trees, they want y to be greater than or equal to x.

This means choice b: 85x + 95y ≤ 95000, x≤y is your answer.

Hope this helps!
