Write an Inequality problem AND then solve the inequality that describes how long Chelsea will have to work to AT LEAST be able to buy the Air Pods. The answer should be to the nearest hour.

Answer 1

Chelsea have to work nearly 31 hours to buy an Air Pods.

Explanation:

Given:

Chelsea makes
`\$9.00` an hour working at Chick-Fil-A.

Pay for per hour =
`$9.00`

She plans to buy some music for her phone and Air Pods.

Cost of Airpods =
`\$278.10`

Let number of hours be
`x`

`x` hour pay will be = Pay for per hour
`*` Number of hours=
`9x`

`x` hours work to buy airpods =
`\frac {\textrm{Cost of Airpods}}{\textrm{Pay per hour}}=(\$278.10)/(\$9.00)=30.9 \ hours`

Rounding to nearest hour we get,

Chelsea have to work nearly 31 hours to buy an Air Pods.
