The cost of renting a jumping castle includes a fixed charge of $325 for setup and delivery, and a variable charge of $175 for each hour the jumping castle is rented for. Caitlin would like to rent a jumping castle for a party, and is willing to spend a minimum amount of $1200 and a maximum amount of $1725. Solve for the range of hours “t” that she could hire the jumping castle for. Give your answer as an inequality.
