Question

Laura wants to rent a boat and spend less than $69. The boat costs $8 per hour, and Laura has a diacount coupon for $3 off. What are the possible numbers of hours Laura could rent the boat?​

Answer 1

Answer: Laura can spend up to 9 hours in the boat.

Explanation:

Lets say that T represents the number of hours.

1. Set up an equation to represent the situation.

2. Add the discount to the amount of money Laura wants to spend.

3. Divide the sum by the cost per hour to get your answer.

=> 8t - 3 ≤ 69

=> 8t ≤ 72

=> t ≤ 9
