Inequality Word Problem

Tyler Tarver introduces a math problem involving George, who earns $20 daily plus $0.05 per flyer distributed. George aims to earn at least $65 daily. The video guides viewers through setting up and solving the inequality to determine the number of flyers needed. The solution involves understanding the inequality signs and calculating the total earnings based on the given conditions.

What is George's base pay per day?

• $20

• $30

• $25

• $15

How much does George earn per flyer distributed?

• 5 cents

• 2 cents

• 4 cents

• 3 cents

What is the minimum amount George wants to earn each day?

• $65

• $60

• $55

• $50

Which of the following represents the inequality for George's earnings?

• 20 + 0.05x = 65

• 20 + 0.05x > 65

• 20 + 0.05x ≥ 65

• 20 + 0.05x < 65

What does the 'pointy end' of the inequality sign face in the solution?

• The number of flyers

• The base pay

• The total earnings

• The minimum desired earnings
