Question

Samantha makes $8.00 an hour babysitting. With the money Samantha earns babysitting, she plans to buy herself a

MP3 player that costs $154.00.
Which inequality represents the number of hours Samantha would have to babysit in order to have enough money
to buy the MP3 player?
O 8h > 154
O 154 +h<8
154 :h<8
8h > 154

Answer 1

Answer: 154+h<8

Your Welcome

Answer 2

8h > 154.

Explanation:

Samantha makes $8 an hour, meaning that the total amount she makes is dependent on the amount of hours she works.

The MP3 player that she wants to purchase is $154, meaning that she will have to get at least $154 or more.

Technically, this means that your answer is:

8h ≥ 154, but because this is not a answer choice, A) 8h > 154 is your best answer, as the amount that she works (in which she is paid $8 each hour), needs to be greater then the amount she needs to purchase the MP3.
