Answer:

Greatest number of hours = 3

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial charges = $10

Per hour charges = $5

Number of hours = h

Equation;

t = 10 + 5h

For finding the hours for $25, we will put t=25 in the equation

25 = 10 + 5h

25 - 10 = 5h

5h = 15

Dividing both sides by 5


(5h)/(5)=(15)/(5)\\h=3

Hence,

Greatest number of hours = 3
