Question

An auto mechanic charges $55 for a house call plus $40 per hour for any work done. The client can spend no more than $250 for the call to the mechanic. Write ✍️ the inequality that represents this scenario.

Answer 1

Solution

Houe Call = $55

Workdone call per hour = $40

Let h denotes the number of hours used

Total charges on the call

$55+40h$

The client can spend no more than $250 for the call to the mechanic

$55+40h\leq250_{}$

The inequality is

$55+40h\leq250_{}$
