I want to cover my backyard with rock and plant some trees. I need 30 tons of rock and it will cost $60 each ton and each tree will cost $84. What is the maximum number of trees I can buy with a budget for rock and trees of $2,500? I have to write an inequality that illustrates the problem and solve.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"budget\" <= \"cost of rocks\" + \"cost of trees\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of trees
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2500 >= 30(60) + 84x
\n" ); document.write( "2500 >= 1800 + 84x
\n" ); document.write( "700 >= 84x
\n" ); document.write( "8.33 >= x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "At most you can buy ONLY 8 trees.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
