a hairstylist can serve a maximum of 12 customers each day he works. he charges $15 for a child haircut and $24 for an adult hai
rcut. the hair stylist would like to earn a minimum of $240 each day. if x represents children haircuts and y represents adults write as any inequalities as possible
Explanation: The number of children is represented by x and the number of adults is represented by y.
We are given that: 1- The hairstylist can serve a maximum of 12. This means that the summation of x and y should not exceed 12. Therefore: x + y ≤ 12
2- The cost per child (x) haircut is $15 and that the cost per adult (y) is $24. We are also given that the hairstylist would like to earn a minimum of $240. This means that the earnings could be more than $240. Therefore: 15x + 24y ≥ 240
Since we are not given any further information, therefore, the maximum number of inequalities that can be formed is two.
