Maple grove wants to include two types of maple trees, the namesake of the city, for their parks. Two varieties of maple trees have been selected. One variety costs $75 per tree; the other more colorful variety costs $90 per tree. The tree budget must not exceed $70,000. Citizens want more of the colorful $90 trees than the others if possible.
Answer:
\(75x+90y\leq 70000\)
\(y\geq x\) or \(x\leq y\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information is :
Two varieties of maple trees have been selected.
Let the first variety of trees be = x
Let the second colorful variety of trees be = y
One variety costs $75 per tree; @@MATH_TOKEN_3@@
The other more colorful variety costs $90 per tree; \(90y\)
Given is - The tree budget must not exceed $70,000. This means the total cost of the trees should be less than or equal to 70000.
Thus, the equation forms:

Also given is - Citizens want more of the colorful $90 trees than the others if possible.
The equation will be :
\(y\geq x\) or \(x\leq y\)
