Question

You can earn money standing in front of a store holding a banner in the afternoon for $6.50 an hour and by delivering pizza in the evening for $8 an hour. You have 20 hours available to work. What is the greatest number of hours you can spend holding a banner and still make at least $145? Choose the equation that models this scenario: Let h = # hours working holding a banner 20 - h = # hours delivering pizza

Answer 1

The equation for the given scenario is 15-1.50x=0.

Money can earn by holding the banner in hand in an hour =$6.50 and delivering pizza in an hour =$8.

Given that the total number of hours =20 and total money spent =$145.

We need to find the equation using this scenario.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

Let x be the number of hours spent holding a banner to earn money.

Then, 20-x be the number of hours spent delivering pizza to earn money.

Now, x (6.50)+(20-x) (8)=145

⇒6.50x+160-8x=145

⇒15-1.50x=0

Therefore, the equation for the given scenario is 15-1.50x=0.
