Answer:

Evelyn can work a maximum of [tex]7[/tex] hours tutoring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evelyn earns [tex]\$\: 18[/tex] per hour lifeguarding and she worked [tex]8[/tex] hours lifeguarding.

So, total money earned by lifeguarding [tex]=\$\: 18\times 8=\$\:144[/tex].

She must earn no less than [tex]\$\:200[/tex].

So, money left to earn [tex]=\$\: 200-\$\:144=\$\:56[/tex].

Evelyn worked [tex]8[/tex] hours lifeguarding. She can work a maximum of [tex]15[/tex] total hours. So, she can work [tex]15-8=7[/tex] hours.

Evelyn earns [tex]\$\: 11[/tex] per hour tutoring.

So, total money earned by tutoring [tex]=\$\: 11\times 7=\$\:77[/tex].

Therefore, the total money earned [tex]=\$ \:144+\$\:77=\$\:221[/tex].

Hence, Evelyn can work a maximum of [tex]7[/tex] hours tutoring.
