To represent the costs of the bulls and cows in terms of the number of each, we can formulate the inequality based on the provided information:
Let \( x \) be the number of bulls and \( y \) be the number of cows.
The cost for the bulls is \( 4700x \) and the cost for the cows is \( 910y \). The rancher wants the total cost to be less than or equal to $22,000.
Therefore, the inequality can be written as:
\[
4700x + 910y \leq 22000
\]
This is the inequality in standard form that describes the situation.
