Bryanna Nguyen · Answer 1

She can play for 24 minutes and 30 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let minute be represented by X

she is hit already 41 times

She is hit 10 times a minute meaning in X minutes she is hit 10X

41 + 10X ≤ 286

10X ≤ 286 - 41

10X ≤ 245

X≤24.5

She can play for 24 minutes and 30 seconds
