Answer 1

Answer:

n ≤ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store. He needs to schedule employees to staff the deli department for no more than 260 person-hours per week.

Tom has one part-time employee who works 20 person-hours per week. Each full-time employee works 40 person-hours per week.

Total Hours ≤ 260 hrs

one part-time employee = 20 hrs

Each full-time employee works = 40 hrs

n Full time employee = 40n Hrs

one part-time employee + n Full time employee  ≤ 260

=> 20 + 40n  ≤ 260

=> 40n ≤ 260  - 20

=> 40n ≤ 240

=> n ≤ 6

Tom can schedule maximum 6 full time employee
