Suppose you earn $7.25 per hour working part-time for a florist.

Write and solve an inequality to find how many full hours you must work to earn at least $125.

7.25x >$124.99, where x equals the number of hours you work. Divide both sides by 7.25 to get 17.24 hours. This rounds up to 18 because it must be above 17.24 and a whole number. So the answer is 18 hours. Hope this helps!
