A garden sells two types of potted palm trees. the Mediterranean palm sells for $150 each and palmetto palm sells for $125 each. the store wants to sell a total of at least 15 of the plants each day and have a total sale of at least $2000. which system of any qualities can be used to determine X, the number of Mediterranean palms,and y, the number of palmetto palms that must be sold.
Hello, to find the first equation, we first consider the fact that the store wants to sell a total of at least 15 of the plants a day. Denoting the number of Mediterranean palms by x and palmetto palms by y, then this equation will be:
[tex]x+y\geq15[/tex]
For the second one, we consider that the store needs to sell at least $2000. Knowing that a Mediterranean palm is worth $150 each and that the palmetto palm is worth $125 each, we arrive at the following equation:
[tex]150x+125y \geq 2000[/tex]
ANSWER: The systems of inequalities consist of the following equations: [tex]x+y\geq15[/tex] [tex]150x+125y \geq 2000[/tex]
