Miyoko's goal is to earn more than (950 this week. She earns )250 for every day she works as a cryptographer, and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.Write an inequality that represents the number of days Miyoko should work as a cryptographer C and as a geologist G to achieve her goal.
Q. Miyoko's goal is to earn more than (950 this week. She earns )250 for every day she works as a cryptographer, and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.Write an inequality that represents the number of days Miyoko should work as a cryptographer C and as a geologist G to achieve her goal.
Identify daily earnings: Identify the daily earnings for each job.Miyoko earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer and $180 for every day she works as a geologist.
Set up inequality for total earnings: Set up the inequality to represent the total earnings from both jobs.The total earnings from working as a cryptographer for C days is 250C, and the total earnings from working as a geologist for G days is 180G. Miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950, so we can write the inequality as 250C + 180G > 950.
Check inequality for accuracy: Check the inequality to ensure it represents the situation correctly.Miyoko wants to earn more than $950, so the inequality symbol should be '>'. The coefficients 250 and 180 correctly represent her daily earnings for each job, and the sum of these earnings should be greater than $950.
