Question

a painter earns $15 per hour. what is the minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200? write an inequality to represent this situation an solve. show your work.

Answer 1

15<200

Answer 2

since it is stated that he must earn at least $200.. we now have the idea that the earning would be greater than or equal to 200.
since the payment would involve the amount per hour and the number of hours, then
you will have:
\[15t \ge 200\]
having 't' as the time worked

Answer 3

thank you so much!!
