$8.22h > $623
$8.22h ≤ $623
$8.22h ≥ $623
$8.22h < $623

Answer 1

$8.22h greater than or equal to $623

Answer 2

C.
`8.22 h\geq`$ 623

Explanation:

We are given that Sophia is saving money for a new bicycle.

The bicycle will cost atleast $623.

Sophia makes $8.22 per hour.

We have to find the inequality that could be used to find the number of hours Sophia needs to work to make enough money to buy a new bicycle.

Let Sophia works h hours to make enough money to buy a new bicycle.

Sophia makes money per hour =$8.22

Total money made by Sophia in h hours =
`8.22 h`

According to question

`8.22 h\geq`$623

Hence, option C is true.
