Natalie works in a toy shop and earns $43 per day. She earns an extra $3 for each toy she sells. If Natalie wants to earn at least $70 per day, which inequality shows the minimum number of toys, n, that she should sell? 43 + 3n ≥ 70, so n ≥ 9 43 + 3n ≤ 70, so n ≤ 9 43 + 3n ≥ 70, so n ≥ 24 43 + 3n ≤ 70, so n ≤ 24

A?
yes
Just writing the paragraph into an inequality as you read it... Earned = Initial Earnings + Earnings from toys
Chad wants to buy some books over the Internet. Each book costs $10.01 and has a shipping cost of $9.96 per order. If Chad wants to spend no more than $50 for his books, which inequality shows the maximum number of books, p, that he can buy? 9.96p − 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 1 9.96p + 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 2 9.96 − 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 3 9.96 + 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 4
43 + 3*(#toys)
b?
Total Spent = Books + Shipping
Total = 10.01*(#books) + 9.96
and you want that less than or equal to the 50 total to spend
you don't want to multiply the shipping cost by the number of books, it is just a flate rate shipping per order of 9.96
