A mail distribution center processes as
many as 175,000 pieces of mail each day.
The mail is sent via ground and air. Each
land carrier takes 1500 pieces per load
and each air carrier 1250 pieces per
load. The loading equipment is able to
handle as many as 200 loads per day.
Let x be the number of loads by land carriers
and y the number of loads by air carriers. Which
system of inequalities represents this situation?
Click on the correct answer.
1500x + 1250y≥ 175,000 x+y≥200
1250x + 1500y ≥ 175,000 x+y≤ 200
1500x + 1250y≤ 175,000 x+y≤ 200
1250x + 1500y≤ 175,000 x+y≤ 200
