Maple Grove wants to include two types of maple trees, the namesake of the city, for their parks. Two varieties of maple trees have been selected. One variety costs $80 per tree; the other more colorful variety costs $85 per tree. The tree budget must not exceed $75,000. Citizens want more of the colorful $85 trees than the others if possible.

Let x be the number of $80 trees and y the number of $85 trees. Which system of inequalities represents the situation?

Options:

80x+85y> = 75,000 x<=y

80x+85y>=75,000 x>=y

80x+85y=y

80x+85y<=75,000 x<=y ... ?
