Zucker enterprises manufactures painted porcelain dolls. zucker conducted a time study of the painting task. the painters took from ½-hour to 1½ hours to paint one doll. zucker enterprises pays its painters $18.00 per hour. the company also pays $11.00 per doll for materials. it wants to spend no more than $24.50 in prime costs. what is the longest time a painter should spend painting a doll?

45 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is how much time should the painter spend on painting a doll for the costs to still be equal or lower to $24.50

We can make this equation, representing the raw materials + the painting job (at $18/h):

$11 + $18x = $24.50

18x = 13.50

x = 13.5 / 18 = 0.75

So, the painter should spend at most 3/4 of an hour (or 45 mins) painting a doll to keep the cost at or below $24.50 per doll.

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
