A garden store sells potted plants and shrubs.
Each potted plant costs $4.75, and each shrub costs $14.50.
On one day, the garden store sells at least 80 potted plants and at most 25 shrubs for a
total sale of at least $700.
If x represents the number of potted plants, and y represents the number of shrubs, which
system of inequalities represents this situation?

To start off, you need to find the total cost of the plants. ($4.75 x 80) and ($14.50 x 25). Then you compare them using a symbol like- < , =, >. So if ($4.75 x 80) (the plants) cost is bigger than ($14.50 x 25) (the shrubs) cost you put ($4.75 x 80) > ($14.50 x 25) if it is the shrubs are bigger than the plants, then you would use a < symbol. And if they are the same you use the = symbol.

Hope that helped!
