Suppose you have a job teaching swimming lessons and get paid $8 an hour.

You also have a job as a cashier and get paid $10 an hour. If you cannot work
more than 22 hours a week, what are the number of hours you can work at
each job and still make at least $190?

Answer:

if you are doing the swimming lessons then it will have to be 22 hours

and for the cashier you can do at least 19 hours

Explanation:

because if you times £8 by 20 for 20 hours you only get £160

and then for the £10 you get the £200

and here i have tried 21 hours timed for the £8 and i got £160

and for the 22 hours you get £176

so basically dont do the swimming job do the cashier
