Rick works two jobs to pay for college. He tutors for $20 per hour and also works as a bag boy for $7 per hour. Due to his class and study schedule, Rick is only able to work up to 25 hours per week but must earn at least $200 per week. If t represents the number of hours Rick tutors and b represents the number of hours he works as a bag boy, which system of inequalities represents this scenario?

OpenStudy (jjwalton04):

t + b less than or equal to 25 20t + 7b greater than or equal to 200 t + b greater than or equal to 25 20t + 7b = 200 t + b less than or equal to 25 20t + 7b less than or equal to 200 None of the systems shown represent this scenario.

I dunno its hard.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

up to 25 hours means 'less than or equal to 25 hours' and at least $200 means 'greater than or equal to $200'

OpenStudy (jjwalton04):

So whats the equation?

OpenStudy (welshfella):
