Question

Andre is paid $12 per hour at his caddying job and $9.50 per hour working at a local fast food restaurant. He would like to keep both jobs and earn at least $275.00 a week, but he can work no more than 25 hours. If x represents the number of hours Andre works at his caddying job and y represents the number of hours he works at the restaurant, which system models this scenario?

Answer 1

The equation that can be used to model this scenario is 12x + 9.5y ≥ 275 and x + y ≤ 25

Let x represents the number of hours Andre works at his caddying job and y represents the number of hours he works at the restaurant.

Since he earn at least $275.00 a week, hence:

12x + 9.5y ≥ 275   (1)

Also, he can work no more than 25 hours, hence:

x + y ≤ 25   (2)

Therefore the equation that can be used to model this scenario is 12x + 9.5y ≥ 275 and x + y ≤ 25
