Tori Meyer · Answer 1

X = the number of bicycles

y = the number of treadmills

The number of new bicycles must be more than 13 times the number of new treadmills, therefore

x > 13y (1)

Each bicycle costs $340 and each treadmill costs $670. The total cost must be less than $5,650, therefore

340x + 670y < 5650 (2)

Inequalities (1) and (2) express the constraints for the situation.

Answer:

x > 13y

340x + 670y < 5650
