Will Fred have enough to buy the basketball if he works in the yard for 2 hours and at the mall for 3 hours? Use the inequality 2.25y + 7.25z + 11.25 ≥ 35.

Answer 2

Answer: 37.50 or 37.5

2.25y = 2.25 x 2 = 4.5

7.25z = 7.25 x 3 = 21.75

Plus the additional 11.25

21.75 + 4.5 + 11.25 = 37.50 or 37.5
