EE the number of employees they train.
Write an inequality that represents the condition based on the number of dollars the company can spend.

Answer 1

Let C denote the number of candidates they interview and E the number of employees they train.

The total cost of interviewing candidates is given by 400C dollars, and the total cost of training employees is given by 3600E dollars.

The company has less than 95000 dollars to spend on both activities. Therefore, the inequality representing the condition based on the number of dollars the company can spend is:

400C + 3600E < 95000

This inequality ensures that the total cost of interviewing candidates and training employees combined does not exceed the budget of 95000 dollars.
