Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store. He needs to schedule employees to staff the deli department at least 260 person-hours per week. Tom has one part-time employeewho works 20 hours per week. Each full-time employee works 40 hours per week. Write an inequality to determine n, the number of full-time employees Tom must schedule, so that his employees will work at least 260 person-hours per week.
Set up the inequality:
40n + 20 >= 260
Set up the inequality:
- Add the part-timer's hours of 20
- Full time hours is 40 times n employees
- At least means greater than or equal to, so we use the >= sign
40n + 20 >= 260
