Question

Dan earns $5.95 per hour working after school. He needs at least $215 for his holiday shopping. Write and solve an inequality to show how many hours must he work to reach his goal?

Answer 1

`h-number\ of\ hours\\\\5.95h\geq215\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 5.95\\\\h\geq(215)/(5.95)\\\\h\geq(21500)/(595)\\\\h\geq(4300)/(119)\\\\h\geq36(16)/(119)\\\\Answer:\boxed{He\ must\ work\ 37h.}`
