Question

Eric earned $100 in tips on Sunday waiting tables plus an additional $11.50 per hour. He earned at least $250 in all.

Write an inequality to find out the least amount of hours Eric worked.
Please help!!

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

So first Subtract 100 from 250. Since you are trying to find out the amount of hours, you don’t need the tips to count.

The next step is too either do the equation 150 divided by 11.50 or you can multiply 11.50 by 13.

it’s not fourteen because 149.5 is closer to 150 then 161

Hope this helps
