Question 373573: You are planning to spend no less than $6,000 and no more than $10,000 on
your landscaping project
You need 30 tons of rock to cover the area. If each ton costs $60 and each tree is $84, what is the maximum number of trees you can buy with a budget of $2,500? Write an inequality that illustrates the problem and solve. Express your answer as an inequality and explain how you arrived at your answer.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 30 t rock @ $60 /t
tree= $84 each
Let trees bought be x
..
cost of rock = 30*60 = 1800
..
1800+84x < 2500
-1800 -1800
84x<2500-1800
84x<700
/84
x<700/84
x < 8.33 trees
x=8.3trees ( you can't buy a fraction of a tree)
Maximum 8 trees
