15h > 200 = 13.33.
Answered by Thili
The amount earned in h hours is 15h. This must be greater than or equal to $200.

So:
15h ≥ 200

To solve, divide both sides by 15. This doesn't affect the direction of the sign because it is a positive number:
h ≥ 200/15

Simplify:
h ≥ 13 1/3

1/3 hour * 60 minutes/hour = 20 minutes

Answer:
At least 13 hours 20 minutes.
