Question

The entertainment committee voted to hire a DJ for the school dance. The DJ

charges a $75 set-up fee plus $30 per hour for playing music. The committee has a
budget of $200, which they cannot exceed. What whole number is the greatest
number of hours the DJ can be booked?
A 4 hours
B 5 hours
C 6 hours
D 9 hours

Answer 1

A. 4 hours
If u subtract 200-75 u get 125 and if u divide that by 30 u get 4.1... so u round it to 4 and that’s ur answer

Answer 2

A 4 hours

This is because if you create the equation using $75 which is the starting fee and then $30 for every hour of playing music.

Equation: 75+30h<200
You subtract 75 from 200 and the divide that number by 200 you will get a decimal but you look at your answer choices and choose the closest number to your answer.
