Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

MrRoyal

The minimum number of hours to earn at least $200 is 14

How to determine the minimum number of hours?

Let the number of hours be x.

Given that hourly rate is $15, and he needs to earn at least $200;

The inequality of the scenario is:

15x >= 200

Divide both sides by 200

x >= 13.33

The smallest integer greater than 13.33 is 14.

So, we have:

x = 14

Hence, the minimum number of hours is 14
