Question

A store manager can spend at most $1,000 a day for operating costs and payroll. It costs $100 each day to operate the store and $30 dollars a day for each employee. Use the following inequality to determine how many employees the manager can afford for the day, at most:

30x + 100 ≤ 1000

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 30 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

30x + 100 = 1000

       - 100    - 100

30x = 900

900/30 = 30

Answer 2

Answer: X = 30

Work:
subtract the 100 from the 1000 and then divide that by 30 so 1000-100 is 900/30 is 30
