Yumi is determining the seating arrangement for her big dinner party.  Circular tables will seat 8 guests and rectangular tables can seat 10 guests.  Together, all of the tables must seat at least 162 guests.
Write an inequality that describes the situation.
Let x = # of circular tables
Let y = # of rectangular tables

• 8x + 10y < 162
• 8x + 10y > 162
• 8x + 10y ≤ 162
• 8x + 10y ≥ 162
