Donna makes $9.75 per hour at her job. Kaylee makes $4 per hour at her job, and she receives a $0.25 raise each month. Which inequality could be used to find the number of months it will take for Kaylee to earn at least as much as Donna per hour?

Answer:

23 months ( 1 and 11/12) years

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting point is $4 an hour, if she makes $0.25 raising each month, it would take 23 because of:
0.25 x 23 = 5.75

Donna makes $9.75 an hour at her job.
So if she has 23 months, (with the 0.25 raise each month)

$4 + $5.75 = $9.75

Making it 23 months.
Hope it helps! :)
