Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B. His budget is $250 so it has to be less than or equal to. $60 a crew member (x = the crew members) and $45 to use the forklift, so $60x + $45 is less than or equal to $250

Answer:

B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, the contractor can spend AT MOST $250 a day, meaning $250 is the limit. Therefore, that gives you less than or equal too, or ≤. Next, it costs $45 a day, including $60, which you would add to get the final amount, or +.

Therefore, 60x + 45 ≤ 250
