Suppose you earn $7.25 per hour working part-time for a florist. Write and solve an inequality to find how many full hours you must work to earn at least $125.00. (1 point)

Question

O at least 15 hours
O at least 18 hours
O at least 20 hours
O at least 25 hours

Answer 1

Let's assume the number of hours you work is represented by "h".

We can write the inequality as:
7.25h ≥ 125

To solve for "h", we divide both sides of the inequality by 7.25:
h ≥ 125/7.25

Using a calculator to find the decimal value, we get:
h ≥ 17.24

Since you can't work a fraction of an hour, you would need to work at least 18 hours to earn at least $125.00.

So the answer is: At least 18 hours.
