Question 1169833: Daniel works no more than 16 hours a week while attending college. He wants to spend at least 2 hours but no more than 10 hours a week parking cars. He is paid $8 per hour parking cars (x) and $7 per hour working at the Haul-Mart (y). What are Daniels’s maximum earnings?

He earns more per hour parking cars than working at Haul-Mart, so his earnings are greatest when he works the maximum number of hours parking cars.

Since he wants to spend at most 10 hours parking cars, he should park cars for 10 hours and work at Haul-Mart for the other 6 hours.

His earnings are then 10($8)+6($7) = $80+$42 = $122.
