Jimmy is a tutor in the science club. He charges $40 per semester to privately

tutor other students and an additional $10 for home visits to help him pay for
gas. If Jimmy made less than $80 this semester for tutoring 1 student, which
inequality can be used to determine how many times he visited the student's
home?

Answer:

He made less than 4 home visits

Explanation:

40 is the fee + 10 per home visit

40 + 10 h

He made less than 80

40 + 10 h< 80

Subtract 40 from each side

40 + 10h-40 < 80-40

10 h< 40

Divide by 10

10h/10 < 40/10

h < 4

He made less than 4 home visits
