Question

Patsy delivers free samples of candles. She earns $35.50 per day and $0.75 for each sample she delivers. Tomorrow, Patsy wants to earn more than $160. Right and solve an inequality to determine the number of samples (n) Patsy must deliver to earn more than $160.

Answer 1

160 < 0.75x + 35.50
Subtract 35.59 from both sides to get:
124.50 < 0.75x
Divide both sides by 0.75 to get:
166 < x

She must deliver 166 samples to get $160
