Question

Nick works two jobs to pay for college. He tutors for $15 per hour and also works as a bag boy for $8 per hour. Due to his class and study schedule, Nick is only able to work up to 20 hours per week but must earn at least $150 per week. If t represents the number of hours Nick tutors and b represents the number of hours he works as a bag boy, which system of inequalities represents this scenario? (5 points)

Answer 1

TUTOR

I’m available for 1–on–1 sessions ›

Let C represent the total cost of each deal

Let T be the number of trips down the water slide

C = 32 for the 1st deal since the cost is the same regardless of how much she rides

C = 18 + T for the 2nd deal

To find when the two costs are equal set them equal to each other and solve for T

32 = 18 + T

T = 14 trips

The cost must be $32 since that is the only cost possible for the 1st deal
