Choose the equation and the inequality needed to answer this question.
Trevor tutors French for $15 and hour and scoops ice cream for $10 an hour. He is going to work 15 hours this week. At least how many hours does he need to tutor to make more than $180? Let x equal the number of hours he tutors and y be the number of hours he scoops ice cream.
(A). x + y = 15
(B). x + y > 15
(C). x + y < 15
(D). 15x + 10y = 180
(E). 15x + 10y > 180
(F). 15x + 10y < 180
E is the answer. In order for Trevor to make more than 180, the number of total hours he works has to be greater than (>) $180. French hours are $15 an hour represented by 15x and ice cream hours are $10 an hour represented by 10y. So 15x+10y>180.
