Question

A plumber earns $50 for a repair job, plus an additional $75 per hour he works. On Tuesday, he completed 3 repair jobs and earned a total of more than $600. Part A: Write an inequality that can be used to determine h, the number of hours the plumber worked Tuesday.

Answer 1

`150 + 75h > 600`

Explanation:

The inequality that can be used to determine h is shown below:-

As per the given situation, it is mentioned that a plumber could earns $50 for a repair job, so for three jobs he earned $150 as a total amount

Now

We presume h be the number of hours

Also he earns additional $75 per hour worked so $75

Total amount is $150 + $75h)

The total amount is more than $600

So, the inequality equation is as given below:

`150 + 75h > 600`
