Answer 1

75a + 90b ≤ 70000

a ≤ b

Explanation:

Maple grove wants to include 2 types of maple trees .The 2 trees that are to be added cost $75 and $90 each. The total amount should not exceed $70000. And the people wants more of the $90 tree.

Let

the number of the $75 tree = a

number of the $90 tree = b

The total cost of the $75 variety of maple tree = 75a

The total cost of the $90 variety of maple tree = 90b

And the cost of the trees shouldn't exceed $70000. Therefore,

75a + 90b ≤ 70000

Note the people needs more of the $90 tree, this means a ≤ b.
