    The correct answer is:

    B) 15h+135≥575

    We can calcutate with this inequality (15h+135≥575) the minimun number necesary of hour that Samantha have to work for buy the plane ticket.

    15h+135≥575

    15h≥575-135

    15h≥440

    h≥440/15

    h≥29.333 then h≥30

    Samantha need work greater tan or equal to 30 hours.

    To chek:

    h=29 ⇒15 (29) + 135=570<575

    h=30 ⇒15 (30) + 135=585>575; therefore h≥30
