Question 1 • *Integrated Math II Full

A landscaper earns $30 for each lawn her company mows, but she pays $210 per day in salary to her employees. If her company made more than $150 profit from mowing lawns in a 7-day week, what are the possible numbers of lawns the company could have mowed? Select two options.

Answer
A
12
B
37
C
54
D
61
E
80

Explanation

In 7 days, employee salaries total $210 × 7 = $1,470. If the company mows n lawns, its profit is $30n − $1,470, and this must be greater than $150. Solving gives $30n > $1,620, so n > 54. The possible choices are 61 lawns and 80 lawns.
