Question

Jeff is going skiing. It costs $65 to rent skis plus $10 an hour to ski. He doesn't want to spend more than $120 and you have to pay for a whole hour even if you don't ski the whole hour. He wants to know how long can he ski. Write and solve an inequality to answer Jeff's question.

Answer 1

120-65=55÷10=5.5 hours

Answer 2

Lets x = # hours of ski rental

10x + 65 <= 120

10x <= 120 - 65
10x <= 55
x <= 5.5

answer
Jeff can ski 5.5 hours
