Question

Ms.Ache is paid $1250 per week but is fined $100 each day she is late to work. Ms.Ache wants to make at least $3,000 over the next three weeks so she can take a vacation. Over the next three weeks, what is the maximum number of days she can be late to work and still reach her goal of making at least $3000?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1250(3) = 3750

3750 - 100d ≥ 3000

-100d ≥ -750

d ≤ 7.5

She can miss no more than 7 days to make $3000.
