    9.25 p + 8.90 t ≥ 100 describes the relationship between p and the t for Michael to earn at least $100.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    p = Number of hours worked at the pet store

    Earning per hour at pet store = $9.25

    t = Number of hours worked as a telemarketer

    Earning per hour at telemarketing job = $8.90

    Now, total amount earned at pet store after working p hours = p x $9.25

    and total amount earned at tele job after working t hours = t x $8.90

    Now, according to the question

    Total money earned at pet store + Total earning at telemarketing job = At least $100

    ⇒ 9.25 p + 8.90 t ≥ 100

    Hence, 9.25 p + 8.90 t ≥ 100 describes the relationship between p and the t.
