Hello there.

After accounting for breaks, a worker actually works 400 minutes each day. The manufacturer needs each worker to generate a potential profit of $35 each day. Write a system of inequalities that expresses these constraints.

Answer: 2y/3 - 2x/3 ≥ 35

Pepsi · Answer 2

If we let x as the cost for labor per hour, then the total cost for labor is

400/60 x

2x/3

If we let y as the earnings per hour, then the gross earnings is

400/60 y

2y/3

The inequality then is

2y/3 - 2x/3 ≥ 35
