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.
so the answer is G.
no its J
To find the correct equation or inequality, 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 total earnings for a day's work as "E".
So, we have the equation:
E = 20 + 8h
Now, we need to find the number of hours the salesperson will have to work to make more than $60 for a day's work. This means we need to find the value of "h" that makes E greater than $60.
We can write this as:
E > 60
Substituting the equation for E, we have:
20 + 8h > 60
Simplifying the inequality:
8h > 40
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
h > 5
Therefore, the correct inequality is:
8h + 20 > 60
So, the correct answer is J.
