Question

Randi earned a profit of $60.00 on her last snow shoveling and salting job. Write an equation that can be solved to find how many hours randi spent shoveling and salting to earn a profit od $60.00

Answer 1

Profit earned by Randi on her last snow shoveling and salting job= $ 60

Let number of hours spent by Randi on that day while working as a shoveler and salter = x hours

Writing the statement in terms of inequality

→ Number of hours worked= Amount of profit earned

→ x=60

→If profit is less than $60.00, then Number of hours will be less.

→If Profit is more i.e greater than $60.00, Number of hours will be more.
