Question

MULTIPLE CHOICE LaShawn designs websites for local

businesses. He charges $25 an hour to build a website, and
charges $15 an hour to update websites once he builds them.
He wants to earn at least $100 every week, but he does not
want to work more than 6 hours each week. What is a possible
solution to describe how many hours LaShawn can spend
building a website (x) and updating a website (y) in a week?
A (1,4)
B (1,6)
C (2,3)
D (3, 3)

Answer 1

LaShawn can spend 2 hours building a website and 3 hours updating a website in a week. Thus, the correct option is C (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a possible solution for how many hours LaShawn can spend building and updating websites in a week, we can set up a system of inequalities based on the given information.

Let x be the number of hours LaShawn spends building a website, and y be the number of hours LaShawn spends updating a website in a week.

According to the given information, he wants to earn at least $100 every week, so we have the inequality 25x + 15y ≥ 100.

He also does not want to work more than 6 hours each week, so we have the inequality x + y ≤ 6.

Combining these two inequalities, we can solve for possible values of x and y.

The possible solution that satisfies both inequalities is (2, 3), so the answer is option C.
