After how many hourswill Steve's pay be more than Carly's?5. The science club is going on a field trip to the science museum. The club has at most $800 to spend on the trip. Thebus for the trip costs $100, and meals at the museum cost $4.50 per student. If admission to the museum is $12 perstudent and $16 per adult, and there are six chaperones attending, how many students can go on the trip?

Answer 1

beLet's begin by listing out the given information:

Steve's: income = $16 /h, Bonuses = $150

Carly's income = $14 /h, Bonuses = $200

The inequality is given by:

`\begin{gathered} Steve\colon16x+150-----1 \\ Carly\colon14x+200-----2 \\ where\colon x=hours\text{ worked for} \\ \\ Steve^(\prime)s\text{ total income will be equivalent to }Carly^(\prime)s\text{ at this point:} \\ 16x+150=14x+200 \end{gathered}`
