Answer:
n ≤ 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If Tom needs to schedule employees to staff the deli department for no more than 260, the number of hours worked (W) is less than or equal 260 (W ≤ 260).
Assuming that Tom's only part-time employee is assigned to work 20 hours at the deli department, the total number of hours worked is given by:
[tex]W = 20 +40n[/tex]
The inequality that determines the number of full-time employees (n) that Tom may schedule is:
[tex]260 \geq 20 +40n\\240 \geq 40n\\n \leq \frac{240}{40} \\n \leq 6[/tex]
