Let number of hours needed to work = x
Multiply number of hours by rate: 15x
Add what you already have saved:
15x + 215
This needs to equal at least 800:
The equation becomes:
15x + 215 >= 800
Solve for x:
15x + 215 >= 800
Subtract 215 from both sides
15x >= 585
Divide both sides by 15
X >= 39
They have to work at least 39 hours.
Solve using system of equations!
Let y=total amount of money and x=hours of overtime.
mall: y=400+15x
movies: y=360+20x
Solve! Set the equations equal to each other to find x.
400+15x=360+20x
40=5x
x=8
After 8 hours of overtime the movies would pay her more.
