A worker wants to save enough money to buy new
headphones, which cost $119. He makes $7 per hour at his
job. He wants to figure out the least number of hours he can
work to have enough money to buy the headphones. Write
an inequality and solve.

To find the number of hours you could divide the cost of the headphones by the amount he earns each hour so you would do $119/ 7 to get 17 and then you could check your answer with multiplication by multiplying 7 * 17 to get 119 which shows that he has to work at least 17 hours to get the headphones he wants.

$119 / 7 = 17

17 * 7 = 119
