A plant store sold at least $2500 worth of trees. If a 7-foot river birch costs $145 and a 6-foot magnolia costs $125, write an inequality that shows the possible ways that river birch ( x ) and magnolias ( y ) were sold.
A) $145 x + 125 y \leq 2500$
B) $145 x + 125 y \geq 2500$
C) $7 x + 6 y \geq 2500$
D) $7 x + 6 y \leq 2500$

The inequality $145x + 125y \geq 2500$ correctly represents the situation where the total sales from river birch trees ($145 each) and magnolia trees ($125 each) are at least $2500.

A Plant Store Sold at Least $2500 Worth of Trees 145x+125y≤2500145 x + 125 y \leq 2500145x+125y≤2500

A Plant Store Sold at Least $2500 Worth of Trees $145 x + 125 y \leq 2500$
