PLZ HELP NOW!

Geoffrey is trying to earn $50 to buy a video game. He has saved $14.25. He earns $3.75 per hour cleaning windows with his uncle and he earns $6.50 per hour working at the grocery store. Can Fred buy the video game if he works with his uncle for 3 hours and at the grocery store for 4 hours? Use the inequality 3.75y + 6.50z + 14.25 ≥ 50.

Yes, because the total will be $51.50.
Yes, because the total will be $60.25.
No, because the total will be $24.50.
No, because the total will be $37.25.

Answer 1

Yes, or A

Explanation:

You can go onto a graphing calculator and input that inequality to find the solution, but you can multiply the 3.75 by 3 because he works with his uncle for 3 hours, and multiply the 6.5 by 4 to get 11.25 and 26. You add these together to get 37.25 and then add the 14.25 from his savings to get 51.50.

51.50 is how much he will have, and this is greater than 50.

Answer 2

yes the total will be 51.50

Explanation:

3.75(3) + 6.50(4) + 14.25
`\geq` 50.

11.25 + 26 + 14.25 = 51.50
