Question

tim earns $150 a week plus $15.50 for each desk he assembles. write an inequality to represent how many desks he needs to assemble to make $400 in one week.

Answer 1

x = number of desks needed to make

equation:  150 +15.50x >= 400

solution:

150 +15.50x >=400

15.50x = 250

x = 250/15.50 = 16.129

he needs to assemble 17 desks

15.50*17 = 263.50 +150 = $413.50
