A campaign organizer is setting up tables for an event. The tables come in two sizes: small and large. Each of the small tables can seat 4 people and each of the large tables can seat 8 people. The event needs to seat at least 85 people. Which inequality represents this situation, where $x$ is the number of small tables and $y$ is the number of large tables the organizer is setting up for the event?

A

$4x+8y\ge 85$

B

$4x+8y\le 85$

C

$8x+4y\ge 85$

D

$8x+4y\le 85$
