Question

Sylvia earns $7 per hour at her after school job. After working one week she recieved a paycheck for $91. Write and solve an equation to find the numbers of hours Sylvia work to earn $91. The greatest number of hours Sylvia can work in any week is 15. Write an inequality to represent this statement. What is the greatest amount of money Sylvia can earn in one week.

Answer 1

amount of hours worked = h
7h = 91
h = 13 hours worked that week
h (is greater to or equal to) 15
7 x 15 would equal 105 which means the most she can make in a week is $105
