Yreka Bakery makes two types of cookies: plain and iced. They have enough oven space to bake $15$15 dozen cookies each day. Each dozen iced cookies requires $0.8$0.8 pounds of icing. Yreka Bakery can make no more than $32$32 pounds of icing per day.

Let $x$x be the number of dozens of iced cookies and $y$y be the number of dozens of plain cookies.

Form a system of two inequalities relating $x$x and $y$y.
