On January 1, 2000, there were 175,000 tons of trash in a landfill that had a capacity of 325,000 tons. Each year since then, the amount of trash in the landfill increased by 7,500 tons. If y represents the time, in years, after January 1, 2000, which of the following inequalities describes the set of years where the landfill is at or above capacity?

Options

325,000 - 7,500 ≤ y

325,000 ≤ 7,500y

150,000 ≥ 7,500y

175,000 + 7,500y ≥ 325,000
