Shantel offers online tutorial services. She charges $25.00 an hour per student. Her budget tracker reflects a total of $3,200.00 monthly expenses. How many hours must Shantel work each month to earn a monthly profit of at least $600.00?(1 point)

Question

at least hours

Answer 1

Let x be the number of hours Shantel must work each month.
Her total income before expenses is 25x.
Her profit after expenses is 25x - 3200.
To earn a monthly profit of at least $600, we have the inequality:
25x - 3200 ≥ 600
Adding 3200 to both sides, we get:
25x ≥ 3800
Dividing both sides by 25, we get:
x ≥ 152
Therefore, Shantel must work at least 152 hours each month to earn a monthly profit of at least $600.
