Question

Derrick really wants to earn at least $330 at the Bike Shop this week before he goes on vacation. He earns $150 in a week plus $20 for each bicycle he assembles. Which inequality would help Derrick determine how many bicycles (b) he needs to put together?

Answer 1

150 + 20x ≥ 330

Explanation:

"At least" indicates that you should use the greater than or equal to sign. His weekly wage and the bicycle assembly money when added must be at least 330, so 150 and 20x are on the same side. The 20x represents the $20 for each bicycle multiplied by the amount of bicycles he assembled.
