Natalie works for a florist. She charges $32 per day to

make 12 bouquets. For every additional bouquet that she
makes, she charges $1.40.
The equation below represents this situation, where E is
her total earning in dollars, in a day when she makes b
additional bouquets.
E = 32 + 1.40b
How many additional bouquets will she have to make so
that she earns at least $60 in a day?

Answer:

20 additional bouquets

Explanation:

Set the equation equal to 60:

E = 32 + 1.40b

60 = 32 + 1.40b

Solve for b:

28 = 1.40b

20 = b

So, she has to make 20 additional bouquets
