Question

Mrs. Jones earns $12.50 an hour at her job. She cannot work more than 40 hours in one week because her employer cannot pay overtime. She makes at least 350 dollars a week at her job while working a variety of hours per week. Assuming taxes and deductions are not part of the problem select the statement below that is FALSE about this situation, allowing H represents the time in hours worked and the variable M represents the money she makes every week while working.

M=12.50H

M<40

28<=H<=40

M>=350

Answer 1

M < 40 is false.  M is the money she earns each week and we know she makes at least 350 per week So m has to be greater than or equal to 350.

Answer 2

M<40 is false statement.

As M equals at least $350 which is greater than $40
