Let the No of blueberry bushes he purchses be = x
\n" ); document.write( "Let the No of peach trees he purchses be = y
\n" ); document.write( "cost of each blueberry bushes = $2.50
\n" ); document.write( "cost of each peach trees = $5.50
\n" ); document.write( "cost of \"x\" Number of blueberry bushes = $2.50( x )
\n" ); document.write( "cost of\"y\" Number of peach trees = $5.50( y )
\n" ); document.write( "Total cost of \"x\" Number of blueberry bushes and \"y \" Number of Peach trees = $2.50( x )+ $ 5.50 ( y )
\n" ); document.write( "This amount should be less than or equal to $ 500.
\n" ); document.write( "i.e 2.5 x + 5.5y <= 500\r
