Answer 1

1o weeks

Explanation:

As I understand it she get's paid 8.50 per week

8.50x

and 0.67 per customer per week

0.67(68)x since there are 68 customers

it has to be at least 500

`8.5x+0.67(68)x\geq 500\\\\8.5x+45.56x\geq 500\\\\56.06x\geq500\\\\x\geq(500)/(56.06) \\\\x\geq 9.24...\\\\x=10`

Answer 2

ok so 68 customers everything morning times 7 days per week is 476 customer.

now we know that 476 x .67 = $318.92

she make 8.50 per week plus $318.92 from customers

now we have this equation of

500 = 8.5x + 318.92

find x you will know how many weeks she needs.

8.5x = 500 - 318.92

8.5x = 181.08

x = 181.08/ 8.5

x ~~ 21.3 weeks
