Question

Jacob earns $7.25 an hour at his part-time job, and earns $9 each time he mows the lawn for his mother. He graphs the amount of hours he works at his job (x) and the number of lawns he mows (y) to determine how to earn at least $300. Which type of boundary line should he use in his graph?

Answer 1

• $7.25 at part-time job

• $9.00 every time lawn mowed

so he would get 33.33 day so we will just say 33 times to get 300 dollars if he gets $9 for mowing. And 41.37 hours to get $300 and he would have to use x and y graph to find the boundary line.
