Question

Nathan earns a fixed pay of $250.25 a week for his normal 30 hours. For each additional hour he works, he receives $9.50.

If he wants to earn at least $312.00 this week, how many extra hours, x, does he need to work in addition to his normal 30 hours? Select the graph of the inequality that represents the amount of hours Nathan must work to earn at least $312.00.

Answer 2

Select the graph?
We need a pic then

Answer 3

Regardless of the graph, it's better if you know the equation first.

Answer 4

He wants to work and get 312 dollars this week, gets fixed 250.25, and 9.5 per extra

Answer 5

So, the y-intercept would be 250.25, because that's where it starts, the base of his pay

Answer 6

Ok so if he gets $250.25 in thirty hours how many hours does he need to work to get $312.00

Answer 7

And then the slope would be 9.5, because it depends on the x value, so 9.5x+250.25

Answer 8

So, there's your equation
y=9.5x+250.25
And then find the graph that matches it

Answer 9

But, that's for the graph
If you want to find x, replace y with 312

Answer 10

Wait snow cant they jus divide 312 by 9.50 to get the amount of hours then plug it into the equation right?

Answer 11

312 = 9.5x+250.25
9.5x=61.75
x=6.5

No, because there's the base line, the y intercept, of250.25

Yeah your right

Answer 15

Wait a sec, it says inequality, so it's not x=6.5, it's x > 6.5, since it's 'at least
*> with a line at the bottom

You mean 9.5*

Answer 17

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531
312 = 9.5x+250.25
9.5x=61.75
x=6.5

Ohhh ok

Answer 19

I thought you was talking about the amount of money he gets each hour

Answer 20

I'm answering the question-_-, So it's at least 6.5 hours~
i-
