    x+y ≤60

    2x+3y ≥ 100

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represents the number of cookies and y represents the number of cupcakes.

    Given : You can only sell at most 60 baked goods combined. Cookies cost $2 each, and a cupcake $3 each. You want to earn at least $100.

    Cost of x cookies = 2x

    Cost of y cupcakes = 3y

    i. e. Inequality For Quantity : x+y ≤60

    Inequality For cost : 2x+3y ≥ 100

    Now, a system of linear inequalities to determine how many cookies and cupcakes can be sold will be:

    x+y ≤60

    2x+3y ≥ 100
