Two girls want to start a lawn mowing business for the summer. They plan to buy a power mower for $200, and they hope to charge $8.50 an hour.
Determine how many hours the girls will have to work to make more than $200 for the summer
So far I only have 8.50h - 200 I'm confused on how to set this up.

Number of hour they work =h
amount they earn in h hour = 8.50 h
8.50 h -200 > 200
add 200 to both side
8.50 h >400
divide by 8.50 to both side
h >47.06
So they have to work more then 47.06 hours to get more than $200
