Question

Deepak is a landscaper who charges $30 for each job he does plus an additional $15 for each hour he works. He only accepts jobs if he will earn at least $90 the job. He writes this inequality to determine x, the number of hours he must work during each job in order to accomplish this.

Answer 1

The answer is...A: He only accepts jobs that last 4 or more hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

$30+15x\geq 90$

Step-by-step explanation:

Deepak charges for each Job = $30

An additional charges for working each hour = $15

Let x be the number of hours he worked for each job.

So,additional charges for working x hours = 15 x

So,he earns in total at each job = $30+15x$

We are also given that He only accepts jobs if he will earn at least $90 the job.

This means he must earn $90 or more than that .

So, the inequality becomes:

$30+15x\geq 90$

Hence an  inequality to determine x, the number of hours he must work during each job in order to accomplish this is $30+15x\geq 90$
