JOB A: $60 per bin plus $120 per day
JOB B: $75 per bin plus $90 per day
Write and solve an inequality to determine how many grain bins you would need to build each day to make Job B pay more than Job A.
----
Solve Job B > Job A
---
75b + 90 > 60b + 120
15b > 30
b > 1/2 (build more than 1/2 bin per day to make Job B pay more than Job A)
