Question

Charlotte has $37. She wants to buy a ski pass for $125. She can earn $8 per hour at her summer job.

- Enter an inequality that represents the number of hours (h) Charlotte could work to earn at least enough money to buy the ski pass.

Answer 1

8h + 37 = 125

Explanation:

if she already has 37, you can take 37 from 125. you should have 88 left.

if you do the math, 8 x 11 is 88. so she needs to work 11 hours to be able to pay for the ski pass.

Answer 2

11 hours because the ticket is $125 - $37 she already got = she just needs $88 dollars divided by $8 per hour equals 11 hours she need to get enough for the ticket
