Let x be the number of excellent grades gift cards and y be the number of perfect attendance gift cards.

Since the school has allotted $4,000 for this event, the total value of the gift cards cannot exceed $4,000.

40x + 25y ≤ 4,000

The principal is going to recognize 100 students, so the total number of gift cards given out must be 100.

x + y = 100

Therefore, the two linear equations that model this situation are:

40x + 25y ≤ 4,000

x + y = 100
