Fred is trying to earn $35 to buy a basketball. He has saved $11.25. He earns $2.25 per hour doing yard work for his neighbor, and he earns $7.25 per hour selling sunglasses at the mall. Will Fred have enough to buy the basketball if he works in the yard for 2 hours and at the mall for 3 hours? Use the inequality 2.25y + 7.25z + 11.25 ≥ 35.
