Question

a sales clerk wants to make at least $519 . If he makes a base salary of $335 and $10.25 per hour at his part time job how many hours will he have to work?

Answer 1

18 hours at least to reach the goal

Explanation:

Well 519 is the lowest objective so lets aim for that

we can make an equation

since base pay is 335 that doesn’t change

We can make x for hours

335+10.25x ≥ 519

SO it can exactly equal or be greater

You’d get 17.95121... and you can’’t work 17.95121 hours so it has to be 18.
