Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!Chris works at a bookstore and

makes $7.50 per hour plus $2 for
each book he sells. He sells 15 books
and needs to make a minimum of
$300. How many hours does he need
to work?

Answer 1

the inequality that represents this situation is:

7.50h + 30 ≥ 300

where h is the number of hours that Chris needs to work, 7.50 is his hourly wage, 30 is the total bonus he gets for selling 15 books, and 300 is the minimum amount he wants to earn.

To solve for h, we can subtract 30 from both sides and then divide by 7.50:

7.50h ≥ 270

h ≥ 36

This means that Chris needs to work at least 36 hours to earn a minimum of $300.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 36 hours

Step-by-step explanation: 2 x 15 = 30

300 - 30 = 270

270 / 7.50=36
