Question

Suppose you earn $7.25 per hour working part time as a florist. write and solve an inequality to find how many full hours you must work to earn at least $200

Answer 1

the inequality would be 7.25x is greater than or equal to (> with a line under it to show that the inequality can be equal to 200). And you would have to work 28 full hours, this is rounded because it has to be a full hour and 7.25 does not go into 200 evenly

Answer 2

x=number of hours

$7.25x=$200
divide both sides by $7.25
x=$200/$7.25
x=27.6 so 28 full hours

Hope that helps.
