Billy is a landscaper and charges a flat rate of $30 per day for mowing (z represents the number of days) plus $10 per hour (y represents the number of hours) for any
additional landscaping for a customer. He estimates, in total, he must charge the customer more than $3, 000 for the year.
Aaron is also a landscaper and charges a flat rate of $25 per day of mowing (z represents the number of days) plus $12 per hour (y represents the number of hours) for any
additional landscaping. In addition, Aaron estimates that the customer must spend no more than $4, 900 for the year.
