Answer 1

Answer:

At least 22 hours in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Manuela make $15 per hour.

           Her employers deduct $125 from her weekly check.

           Manuela receives at least $205 in her weekly paycheck.

Lets assume, Manuela working hour in a week be "x".

We know, Total amount on week paycheck= $Hourly\ pay\times number\ of\ hours- Deduction$

Now, forming an inequality to determine weekly pay of Manuela.

⇒ $15\times x- 125\geq 205$

⇒$15x-125\geq 205$

Adding both side by 125

⇒$15x\geq 205+125$

⇒$15x\geq 330$

Divinding both side by 15

⇒$x\geq \frac{330}{15}$

∴$x \geq 22\ hours$

Hence, Manuela works at least 22 hours per week.
