Given :

Ryan works two jobs. He earns $10 per hour working at the hardware store, and he earns $13 per hour working at the shipping.

To Find :

If x represents hours at the hardware store and y represents hours at the shipping company, which inequality represents the situation if Ryan wants to earn a minimum of $300.

Solution :

His total earning is given by :

T = 10( number of hours at hardware store ) + 13( number of hours at the shipping)

T = 10x + 13y

Now, he wants to earn a minimum of $300 i.e T ≥ $300.

So, 10x + 13y ≥ 300

Hence, this is the required solution.
