A. x>20
B. x>40
C. x>26
D. x>2

Answer 1

D. x>23
Explanation:
Deena's goal is to take 200 calls this week.
She already answered 85 calls this week, so she's missing 115 (200-85) calls for her goal.
She takes about 5 calls per hour, so how many hours does she need to work more?
h = 115 calls / (5 calls/h) = 23 hours
So, she needs to work at least 23 more hours... so x > 23.
