A store manager is given $80000 to buy 1200 new tires for the store. Two types of tires are to be purchased: four-ply nylon, costing $50 each, and steel-belted radials, costing $70 each. The manager wants to buy 5 times as many steel-belted radial tires as four-ply nylon tires. Assuming that all $80000 is spent, find a system of linear equations that gives the number of each tire bought.
