Margaret earns 15 an hour at her job. Each week she earns at least 450 and no more than 600. How many hours does Margaret work each week?
Let h be the hours worked
We know that hourly rate * h equals total earnings.
The phrases at least and no more than signify inequalities, so we have:
450 <= 15h <= 600
Divide each entry by 15:
30 <= h <= 40
This means Margaret works at least 30 hours a week and no more than 40
