A salesperson makes a flat fee of $20 per day plus $8per hour. Which equation or inequality can be used to find h, the number of hours the salesperson will have to work to make more than $60 for a day's work?
F. 20h + 8 = 80
G. 8h + 20 < 60
H. 8h + 20 = 60
J. 8h + 20 > 60
I think the answer is G
Can you check it if it is right
Take a look at your signs. The salesperson wants to earn more than 60.
To determine which equation or inequality can be used to find the number of hours the salesperson will have to work to make more than $60 for a day's work, let's break down the problem.
We know that the salesperson makes a flat fee of $20 per day plus $8 per hour. Let's represent the number of hours worked as 'h.'
The total earnings for a day can be represented as: Total earnings = Flat fee + Hourly rate
Total earnings = $20 + $8h
So, we need to find the equation or inequality that represents making more than $60 for a day's work.
The correct equation to find the number of hours worked would be:
20 + 8h > 60
Simplifying this inequality:
8h > 60 - 20
8h > 40
Dividing both sides by 8:
h > 40/8
h > 5
Therefore, the correct answer is J. 8h + 20 > 60.
Your answer is correct, well done!
