Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $41 and an additional fee of $5.90per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend less than $76.40on renting the meeting room.What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room?Use t for the number of the meeting room is rented, and solve your inequality for t.

Answer 1

Given:

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of

$41 and an additional fee of $5.90per hour

Let t the number of the meeting room is rented

So, the total rent fee = 5.9t + 41

The chemistry club wants to spend less than $76.40on renting the meeting room.

So, we have the following inequality:

`5.9t+41<76.4`

solve the inequality to find t:

`\begin{gathered} 5.9t<76.4-41 \\ 5.9t<35.4 \\ t<(35.4)/(5.9) \\ t<6 \end{gathered}`

so, the answer will be in interval notation:

`t=(0,6)`
