Mr. West is paid $2000 per week but is fined $150 each day he’s late for work. Mr. West want to make at least $10,000 over the next six weeks so that he can take a trip to China. Over the next six weeks, what is the maximum number of days he can be late to work and still reach his goal of making at least $10,000?

Respuesta :

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mr. West wants to still go on his trip to China he will need to not be late more than 13 times. How i got this is since he is working and making $2000 over the next 6 weeks and he only needs $10,000 of it we can take $2000 away from the equation. Then, divide 2000 by 150 to get the amount of times he can be late. The answer is 13.3, which rounded is 13.
