Question

John needs a plumber to repair the kitchen drain. The plumber charges $85 for the parts that he will need for the repair plus $30 for each hour worked. The maximum amount of money john can spend is $250. Which inequality would represent this situation if x is the number of hours worked?

Answer 1

Answer:

$30x+85y\leq 250$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each part is $\ 85$

Cost of working one hour is $\ 30$

Let number of hours worked be $x$ and

number of parts bought be $y$.

The maximum amount of money that John can spend is $\ 250$.

From the question we have

$30x+85y\leq 250$

The required inequality is $30x+85y\leq 250$.
