Answer:

1. Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

2. Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

3. If Jamie washes x no. of cars and Stella makes y no. of pies, then,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

4. Yes, Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

if Jamie washes x no. of cars for $25 each and Stella makes y no. of pies

for $ 15 each, then, according to the question,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

Yes,  Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns. Because, she can make at most 40 pies for $15 each and

$ 40 \times 15 = $ 600 = The amount of money Stella needs for the trip.
