You are a farmer and want to spend under $35,000 on farm equipment. You need a hay baler that costs $6,250 and several plowing disks cost $2,500 each. Write an inequality that models how many plowing disks could be purchased within your budget. What is the maximum number of plowing disks you can buy?
