Question

You earn nine dollars .20 per hour as a summer job identify any quality that represents the number P of hours you need to work in order to buy a smart phone that cost 299

Answer 1

You have to need at least 32.5 hours to buy a smartphone that cost $299.

What is inequality?

Inequality is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are not equal.

Given that you earn $9.20 per hour at your summer school job.

If p represents the number of hours you work, you must multiply that by the amount you make per hour. If the total is greater than or equal to the cost of the phone, you can buy it.

The cost of the smartphone is $299

As per the given condition, the required inequality would be as

`\implies 9.20 * p \geq 299`

Divided by 9.20 both sides of the above inequality,

`\implies p \geq 3.25`

Therefore, you have to need at least 32.5 hours to buy a smartphone that cost $299.
