During an Arbor Day sale, a garden store sold more than $2,100 worth of trees. If a 6-foot maple costs $90 and a 5-foot pine costs $100. Write an inequality that shows the possible ways that maple trees ( x ) and pine trees ( y ) were sold.

Since the maple trees cost less than the pine trees, we want to subtract the cost of the maple trees from the total sales. Therefore, the inequality should be $90x - 100y < 2100$.

During an Arbor Day Sale, a Garden Store Sold More 100x−90y<2,100100 x - 90 y < 2,100100x−90y<2,100
