Answer:
h= 6
Explanation:
To find out the value of h, start by forming an equation for the cost of renting a trampoline:
Cost of renting= $(75 +8t), where t is the rental duration.
When the cost is $125,
75 +8t= 125
Subtract 75 from both sides:
8t= 125 -75
8t= 50
Divide both sides by 8:
t= 50 ÷8
t= 6.25
Since she wants to spend less than $125, let's round the value down to the nearest hour.
∴ h= 6
Thus, she could rent it for 6 hours.
Let's check!
Total cost of renting for 6 hours
= 6(8) +75
= $123
Total cost of renting for 7 hours
= 7(8) +75
= $131
Hence, 6 hours is indeed the maximum number of hours she can rent the trampoline for, such that the total cost is less than $125.
