Question

Can someone help me fast!?!?

Trying to get better at these word problems will help a lot.

Sharon is a new store manager. She can spend $750 a day for operating costs and payroll. It costs $75 each day to operate the store and $25 a day for each employee. Use the following inequality to determine, at most, how many employees Sharon can afford for the day.
A. x ≥ 27
B. x ≥ 33
C. x ≤ 33
D. x ≤ 27

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

25x+75=750

25x=675

x=27

we can't go over this amount, but we can have 27 employees, so it will be equal as well.

x<27 and x=27
