Four friends share the profit of a lawn care service equally. The friends charge $45 per lawn and spend $30 of their total

to mow next week so that each person earns at least $275?

    45 m - 30 ≥ 275 x (4) is the required inequality.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    m: The number of lawns they need to mow next week

    The charge per mowing of lawn = $45

    The total earnings spent on gasoline each week = $30

    The earning per person is AT LEAST $275.

    Now, if 1 person earns at least $275

    So, the total minimum earnings of 4 people = 4 x ($275) = $ 1100

    Also, of per mow charge = $45

    So, the charge of mowing m lawns = m x (Per mow charge)

    = m x ($45) = 45 m

    Now, according to question:

    Total Earning - Money spent on gasoline ≥ Total Earning $1100

    or, 45 m - 30 ≥ 1100

    Hence, the needed inequality is 45 m - 30 ≥ 1100

    or, 45 m - 30 ≥ 275 x (4)
