Question

Jay earns $5.90 per hour working at the ice cream parlor after school. He needs at least $236 for a stereo system. Choose the inequality that describes how many hours Jay must work to buy the stereo system. A) 5.90x < 236 B) 5.90x > 236 C) 5.90 + x > 236 D) x 5.90 > 236

Answer 1

The answer would be B) 5.90x > 236
This is because Jay needs at least 236 therefore the money he earns from working at the ice cream parlor would need to be higher than 236.
