Complete Question
Leah would like to earn at least $120 per month. She babysits for $5 per hour and works at an ice cream shop for $10 per hour. Leah cannot work more than a total of 20 hours per month. Let x represent the number of hours Leah babysits and let y
represent the number of hours Leah works at the ice cream shop.
Answer:
The inequalities to solve this question is given as:
x + y ≤ 20
5x + 10y ≥ 120
Leah must spend: 16 hours babysitting and 4 hours working at the ice cream shop to earn at least $120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the hours she number of hours she babysits and y represent the hours she works at the ice cream shop. Leah cannot work more than a total of 20 hours per month.
Hence:
x + y ≤ 20 ...... Equation 1
Leah would like to earn at least $120 per month.
She babysits for $5 an hour and works at an ice cream shop for $10 per hour.
Hence, out Equation is given as:
x × $5 + y × $10 = $120
5x + 10y ≥ 120..... Equation 2
The inequalities to solve this question is given as:
x + y ≤ 20
5x + 10y ≥ 120
To find x and y:
x + y = 20
x = 20 - y
5x + 10y = 120
Substitute: 20 - y for x
5(20 - y) + 10y = 120
100 - 5y + 10y = 120
Collect like terms
- 5y + 10y = 120 - 100
5y = 20
y = 20/5
y = 4 hours
Note:
x = 20 - y
x = 20 - 4
x = 16 hours
Hence:
Leah must spend: 16 hours babysitting and 4 hours working at the ice cream shop to earn at least $120
