Question

Deena works at a customer service call center. She fields an average of 5 calls per hour. Employees are encouraged to field more

than 200 calls per week Deena has already fielded 75 calls this week.
How many more hours, x, does Deena need to work this week to reach the weekly goal of fielded calls if she continutes to field an
average of 5 calls per hour? Select the inequality that includes the fewest number of hours Deena can work this week and still
reach the weekly goal.

Answer 1

1. She needs to field 240 calls, but has already done 96. => 240-96=144

2. She fields six calls per hour, and how many hours will it take. This is a hint for division. 144/6=24

3. Therefore, x, where x is the minimum number of hours Deena will need to answer 144 more calls, is at least 144.

4. Answer: c. x>24
