Question

Brenda needs $40 to buy a large box of chocolate. She has saved $12 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $7 per hour. Which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that Brenda should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy the large box of chocolate?

Answer 1

(Brenda savings + Brenda baby sitter earning) should be more or at least equal to 40 
If n = number of hours Brenda works then her baby sitter earning = 7n 

12 + 7n ≥ 40 , so n≥4 

So answer is c

Answer 2

SHE SHOULD WORK 4 HOURS MINUMUM FOR HER BOXES OF CHOCLATE
