The income from the oil changes is given by 22x and the income from the tune-ups is given by 100y. Gavin needs to earn over $2,200 in total, so the inequality is:
22x + 100y > 2200
Gavin, a mechanic, earns $22 for every oil change he performs and $100 for every tune-up. He needs to earn over $2,200 today to be able to pay the rent for his business and still have some money left over.
Write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.
x = the number of oil changes Gavin will do today
y = the number of tune-ups Gavin will do today
