Shelby is creating a budget for the week. At her job she earns $15.50 per hour. Her rent cost $300. Shelby wants to have at least $280 left over after paying rent. Which inequality shows how many hours shelby should work

15.5x - 300 >= 280

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of hours she works.

Her rent costs $300, so that value gets subtracted from the amount she earns. That makes our expression for how much money she earns:

15.5x - 300

This amount has to be over 280, so our inequality will be:

15.5x - 300 >= 280

the answer is b
