rectangle has a length of
18 feet. The width is x feet
less than the length. If the
area must be less than 216
square feet, what could be
the measurement of the
width?
Payment on Plan A = $300
x is the number of hours Jake works.
Payment on Plan B = Fixed charges + (charge per hour) × (number of hours worked)
= $150 + $6.25(x)
= 150 + 6.25x
Since, the payment on Plan B should be more than Plan A,
150 + 6.25x > 300
6.25x > 300 - 150
6.25x > 150

x > 24
The minimum vale for x which satisfies this inequality is 25.
Hence, x = 25.
16 3/4 + 12 3/4
16 +12 = 28
3/4 +3/4 = 1 1/2
28 + 1 1/2 = 29 1/2 hours total
