Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $19 and an additional fee of $4 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend at most $39 on renting the room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room?

Use t for the number of hours.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer 1

t = 5

Explanation:

1. 
   `19 + 4t = 39`
2. 
   `4t = 20` Subtract 19 from 39
3. 
   `(4t)/(4) = (20)/(4)` Divide by 4
4. 
   `t = 5`
