Question

Ms. Ache is paid $1,400 per week but is fined $150 each day she is late to work. Ms. Ache wants to make at least $2,125 over the next two weeks so she can take a vacation. Over the next two weeks, what is the maximum number of days she can be late to work and still reach her goal of making at least $2,125? *

Answer 1

The answer is 4.5 because, you take 1,400 and multiply it by 2. Then, you subtract 2,125. Finally, you divide that number by 150.
