Question

Fiona needs $62 to go on a field trip. She has saved $10.50. She earns $6.50 per hour cleaning her neighbor's garden, and she earns $5.25 per hour selling cakes at a store. Can Fiona go on the field trip if she works at the garden for 6 hours and at the store for 2 hours?

(Use the inequality 6.50x + 5.25y + 10.50 ≥ 62.)

Answer 1

Fiona cannot go on the field trip

Explanation:

6.5 x 6 = 49

5.25 x 2 = 10.5

49 + 10.5 + 10.5 = 60
