Question

Olivia needs $36 to buy a coat. She has saved $8 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $7 per hour. Which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that Olivia should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy the coat?

8 + 7n ≤ 36, so n ≤ 4
8 + 7n ≥ 36, so n ≥ 4
7n ≥ 36 + 8, so n ≥ 6.3
7n ≤ 36 + 8, so n ≤ 6.3

Answer 1

The answer would be, A. 8 + 7n ≤ 36, so n ≤ 4.

Explanation:

Answer 2

█ Solution █

✦ Since Olivia has already saved 8 dollars, the inequality would be addition.
✦ The only two choices for that would be choice #1 or #2
✦ Since she's earning 7 dollars per hour, the answer would be the first choice.
✦ 8 + 7n ≥ 36, so n ≥ 4

Answer: Choice 1
