Question

Write and solve an inequality to find how many full hours you must work to earn at least $370.00 when earning $9.25 per hour.

A) 9.25h ≥ 370
B) h ≤ 370/9.25
C) h ≥ 370/9.25
D) h > 9.25/370

Answer 1

To earn at least $370.00 when earning $9.25 per hour, you must work at least 40 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many full hours you must work to earn at least $370.00 when earning $9.25 per hour, you can set up the inequality:

9.25h ≥ 370

To solve for 'h', divide both sides of the inequality by 9.25:

h ≥ 370/9.25

Simplifying the right side, we get:

h ≥ 40

Therefore, you must work at least 40 hours to earn $370.00 or more.
