Answer 1

300a + 450b ≤ 6000

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of electric mower = $300

Cost of gas mower = $450

Total number of mower = 25

Cost of total mower is at least = $6,000

Find:

Number of each mower equation

Computation:

Number of electric mower = a

Number of gas mower = b

So,

Equations

a + b ≤ 25 ........ Equation 1

300a + 450b ≤ 6000 ....... Equation 1
