Question 453511
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 $2500. 
Write an inequality that illustrates problem and solve. 
Express answer as an inequality and how you arrived at it.
----
Rock cost = 30*60 = $1800
---
Tree cost = 84x where x is the number of trees you buy.
-----
Inequality:
1800 + 84x <= 2500
---
84x <= 700
---
x <= 8 1/3
---
The maximum number of trees you can buy is 8.
