Irene tutors fellow students to earn spending money. A designer purse she wants to buy is $170. She has already earned and set aside $51 for the purse. If she charges $17 per hour of tutoring, how many hours (h) must she tutor to have at least enough money to buy the purse? A. H > 10 B. H > 7 C. H > 3 D. H > 13

Answer 1

$170 - $51 = $119 more needed for the purse

she earns $17 per hour so

$119 ÷ $17 = 7

she should tutor 7 hours so h>10
