Miles worked a total of 38 hours last week. His earnings for the week were more than $228. What is his hourly rate of pay?

Respuesta :

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: rate of payment per hour
 We write now the inequality that models the problem:
 [tex]38x\ \textgreater \ 228 [/tex]
 From here, we clear x:
 [tex]x\ \textgreater \ 228/38 [/tex]
 [tex]x\ \textgreater \ 6[/tex]
 Answer:
 
his hourly rate of pay was last than $ 6 per hour
