:
a)Gina Earnings: E=1.5(p)+80....where E is earnings and P is number of jeans she makes
:
b)Dexter Earnings: E=110.........where E is the earnings
:
c)we want the two to be equal so set the equations equal to each other
:
1.5p+80=110
:
1.5p=30
:
pairs of jeans. So Gina needs to make 20 pair of Jeans in a day in order to get paid what Dexter gets paid
:
notice on the graph that the lines intersect at (20,110)
