Janice is trying to earn $30 to buy a necklace. She has saved $5.25. She earns $2.25 per hour weeding her grandmother's garden and she earns $5.50 per hour selling seashells at the flea market. Will Janice have enough to buy the necklace if she works in the garden for 2 hours and at the flea market for 4 hours? Use the inequality 2.25y + 5.50z + 5.25 ≥ 30.

4.50 + 22.00 + 5.25 = 31.75 so yes she will
