ILL GIVE U BRAINLIST!!

Connor is working two summer jobs, making $8 per hour walking dogs and making $12 per hour landscaping. In a given week, he can work a maximum of 15 total hours and must earn no less than $160. If Connor worked 12 hours walking dogs, determine the maximum number of whole hours landscaping that he can work and still meet his requirements. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\mathrm{No\: solutions}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Connor has worked 12 hours walking dogs, he's earned [tex]12\cdot 8 = \$96[/tex] from walking dogs. He still needs to earn [tex]\$160-\$96=\$64[/tex]. As stated in the problem, he makes $12 an hour landscaping, therefore the minimum number of whole hours he must work to fulfill his requirements is [tex]\lceil{ \frac{64}{12} \rceil = 6\: \mathrm{hours}[/tex]. However, the problem states he can only work a maximum of 15 hours. He would have to work [tex]12+6=18[/tex] to fulfill his requirements and therefore he will not be able to meet his requirements with the restrictions given.
