Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $34 and an additional fee of $9.30 per hour. The math club wants to spend less than $99.10 on renting the meeting room.

What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room?
Use t for the number of hours the meeting room is rented, and solve your inequality for t.

Answer 1

7 hours

Explanation:

99.10-34=65.1

65.1 divide by 9.30=7

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

9 hours.

Explanation:

31 + 5.9*t < 84.10.

To solve it, collect the constant terms on the right side:

5.9*t < 84.10 - 31 = 53.10,

Hence, t < 53.10%2F5.9 = 9 hours.
