I know that 30 tons of rock is 1800, and after that 8 trees can be bought. I can't figure out how to write the equation.

anonymous · Answer

$$84t \le 700$$

84 per tree, and you have 700 left to spend

$$t \le \frac{25}{3}$$
so you can buy 8 full trees

anonymous · Answer

full equation is :

$$30*60+84t \le 2500$$
