Question

EspaoTo rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $49 and an additional fee of $5.60 per hour. The film club wants to spend at most $77.00on renting the meeting roomWhat are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room?Use for the number of hours the meeting room is rented, and solve your inequality for t.

Answer 1

If 1 hour cost $5.60, then t hours cost 5.60t dollars. Adding the reservation fee of $49, the total cost is 49 + 5.60t dollars. The film club wants to spend at most $77.00, then:

49 + 5.60t ≤ 77

5.60t ≤ 77 - 49

t ≤ 28/5.60

t ≤ 5

They can rent the meeting room for at most 5 hours.
