Question

this is part a to the problem “write an inequality that can be used to find the minimum that angel can work babysitting to earn at least 800 from both jobs” uh oh! bad decision, mark! 5:43 pm angel earns 100 each week working at a summer camp and 60 each week baby sitting. she starts babysitting two weeks before camp began. let w represent the number of weeks that angel babysits.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate money from babysitting

The money earned from babysitting is $60W$ (since she earns $60$ per week and $W$ is the number of weeks babysitting).

Step2: Calculate money from camp - work

She works at the camp for $(W - 2)$ weeks (because she starts babysitting 2 weeks before camp) and earns $100$ per week at camp. So the money from camp - work is $100(W - 2)$.

Step3: Set up the inequality

She wants to earn at least $800$ from both jobs. So the inequality is $60W+100(W - 2)\geq800$.

Answer:

$60W + 100(W - 2)\geq800$
