Answer:

3.10h + 2.30b ≥ 100

Explanation:

Tammy earns $3.10 for each hour,

Let h represents hour,

So total earning for h number of hours will be 3.10h

Tammy earns $2.30 for each bushel of apples

Let b represents bushel of apples,

So total earning for b number of bushels will be 2.30b

Tammy's goal is to earn at least $100 this week

Therefore, to reach her goal the inequality will be

3.10h + 2.30b ≥ 100

Where h is the number of hour and b is the number of bushels.
