Question

Isaiah is working two summer jobs, making $16 per hour tutoring and $10 per hour

clearing tables. Isaiah must earn at least $110 this week. Write an inequality that
would represent the possible values for the number of hours tutoring, t, and the
number of hours clearing tables, c, that Isaiah can work in a given week.

Please help

Answer 1

`16t + 10c \geqslant 110`

Explanation:

Cost of tutoring per hour = $16

So, cost of tutoring t hours = $16t

Cost of clearing tables per hour = $10

So, cost of clearing tables c hours = $10c

Since, Isaiah must earn at least $110 this week.

Therefore, the required inequality will be given as:

`16t + 10c \geqslant 110`
