Which of the following inequalities represents the amount of hours (h) that Alfonso needs to work at the restaurant next week to earn at least $144
between his two jobs?
8h+12h≥144
8⋅6+12⋅6≥144h
8⋅6+12h≥144***
8h+12⋅6≥144
is this one right??
you never said the answer.
thx
where do i go to see the answer
Yes, you are correct. The correct inequality representing the amount of hours Alfonso needs to work at the restaurant next week to earn at least $144 between his two jobs is 8⋅6 + 12h ≥ 144.
Let's break it down to understand why:
- Alfonso is scheduled to work 6 hours at the movie theater, so the amount he earns from that job is 8⋅6 (8 dollars per hour multiplied by 6 hours).
- The amount he needs to earn in total between both jobs is at least $144.
- The amount he earns from the restaurant job is 12 dollars per hour multiplied by the number of hours he works at the restaurant, which is represented by 12h.
Adding these two amounts together, we get 8⋅6 + 12h, and this sum needs to be greater than or equal to 144.
Therefore, the correct inequality is 8⋅6 + 12h ≥ 144.
