Jessie needs to earn more than $460 every month. A. Create an inequality that represents this situation, where h represents the number of hours that Jessie needs to work in a month in order to earn more than $460. ​B. Enter the minimum number of hours, to the nearest whole, Jessie would have to work to earn $460 in a month.

Respuesta :

Answer: 9.50h + 60 > 460 (Part B: Min hours is 49)

Step-by-step explanation: 9.50 is how much she earns per hour. 'H' is used for how many hours she needs to work. (On mine she gets a bonus so im adding it) the bonus is 60 so you add that. Also notice that Jessie needs MORE than 460, so you use greater than sign instead of the greater than or equal too sign.

The inequality that represents this situation and the minimum number of hours is; $9.50h + $60 ≥ $460 and 43 hours

How to solve inequality word problems?

We are told that she earns $9.50 per hour.

Now, h is used to represent the number of hours she needs to work. Also we are told that She also earns a $60 bonus every month and that she  needs to earn more than $460 every month.

Thus, the ineqaulity to represent the situation is;

$9.50h + $60 ≥ $460

To solve the inequality, subtract 60 from both sides to get;

$9.50h ≥ $400

divide both sides by 9.5 to get;

h ≥ $400/9.5

h ≥ 43
