Question

Aldo works as a busboy making

$8
per hour and as a theater usher making
$10
per hour. Let
b
be the number of hours he works as a busboy this month, and let
u
be the number of hours he works as an usher.
His goal this month is to earn more than
$1400
total. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing this.

Answer 1

8b + 10u > 1400

It says that it is more than 1400, & it does not say 1400 and more, therefore, we use > and not ≥

hope this helps
