Just divide 200 by 15 and you'll get 13.3333 so you just add one and get 14

15x>200. The minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200 is 14 hours. Working 14 hours will allow him to receive $210. This is the minimum number of hours he can work because if he works 13 hours instead, he will only make $195, which is less than 200. 15x>200 (15x is equal to or greater than 200) x=14.
