Inequality: 40x + 60 > 200
Situation: An employee wishes to calculate the maximum number of hours he can take off from work (represented by variable x) while still earning more than $200 in a month. The employee's hourly wage is $40, and the employee also receives a monthly bonus of $60.
The inequality states that the product of the number of hours taken off (variable x) and the hourly wage plus the monthly bonus should be greater than $200.
Write an inequality that models a real-world situation. Describe your situation and what the variable x represents.
