9. A clothing store makes a profit of $50 on every pair of jeans sold and $25 on every blouse sold. The
managers goal is to have a profit of at least $900 a day from the sales of these two items.

If x represents the number of jeans sold and y represents the number of blouses sold, write an
inequality that models the combinations of jeans and blouse sales that will meet or exceed the daily
profit goal.
