Brayden is working two summer jobs, making $18 per hour lifeguarding and making $9 per hour clearing tables. In a given week, he can work no more than 19 total hours and must earn a minimum of $270. If Brayden worked 14 hours lifeguarding, determine the minimum number of whole hours clearing tables that he must work to meet his requirements. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Respuesta :

Answer: The amount he earns from lifeguarding = $252 ($18×14). The total amount he needs to make a week is $270.

$270-$252=$18, he needs to earn $18 more from clearing tables.

$18÷9=2, so the minimum number of whole hours clearing tables is 2
