Mrs. Harris is paying you $8.00 an hour to babysit during the day and Mrs. Sanchez is paying you $6.00 per hour to babysit her child in the evening.
• Let x = the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Harris
• Let y = the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Sanchez
1. Write an inequality describing the number of hours you want to work each week to reach your summer goal of at least $1500. Remember you have 10 weeks to work. How much do you want to average per week?

Respuesta :

the answer is 8x+6y>=150. you just divide 1500 by 10 so you want to make at least 150 per week

The inequality that represents the given situation is (8x + 4y [tex]\geq[/tex] 1500) and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

  • You have 10 weeks to work before your family vacation and before you return to school in the fall.
  • For your future car you are planning on earning and saving at least $1500.
  • $8 per hour is paid by Mrs. Harris.
  • $6 per hour is paid by Mrs. Sanchez.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the inequality that describes the number of hours you want to work each week to reach your summer goal of at least $1500:

Step 1 - Let the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Harris be 'x' and the number of hours you babysit for Mrs. Sanchez be 'y'.

Step 2 - So, the inequality that represents the given situation is given below:

8x + 4y [tex]\geq[/tex] 1500

Now, the average per week can be determined by dividing 1500 by 10. So, you have to make $150 per week.
