Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $13 and an additional fee of $5 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend less than

$43 on renting the room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room?
Use t for the number of hours.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer 1

Answer: t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

They want to spend less than $43, 43-13=30 and 30/5=6, Therefore they could have 6 hours max, if the initial reservation fee is $13 and and additional $5 per hour.

Answer 2

2 hours or lower

Step-by-step explanation:

$13 + $5t = fee

13 + 15t = 43 --> minus 13 on both sides

15t = 30 --> divide by 15 on both sides

t = 2
