Good luck i hope you pass <3
Answer:

A. n ≤ 10

Explanation:

Corinna wants to buy a $229 plane ticket. She currently has $64, so she needs to save up $229 - $64 = $165. Since she earns $15 per hour, we can set up the equation n * 15 = 165, where n represents the number of hours Corinna needs to work. Solving for n, we get n = 11.1, which we can round down to 11 hours. Therefore, Corinna must work at least 11 hours to save up enough money to buy the $229 plane ticket. Answer choice A is the correct answer.

Note: Rounding down to 11 is not required, as long as we do not round up to 12. Rounded or unrounded, 11 is the smallest integer greater than or equal to 11.1, so it is the minimum number of hours Corinna would need to work to save up enough money for the plane ticket.
