Question

Jeremy is taking a photography class, but he doesn't own a camera. The class organizers will rent him a camera for $6 per day. Jeremy can spend up to $50 for the class, but he has to pay $15 to register for the class as well as rent the camera. The number of days, d, that Jeremy can rent the camera is represented by the inequality 6d + 15 < 50. Select the number of days Jeremy can rent the camera with the money he has.

Answer 1

Jeremy starts with $50 total dollars. You then subtract $15 to enroll into the class, which leaves $35. You divide this number by 6 (because it costs six dollars per day) making 5.83 days. Because .83 isn’t a full day, the answer is 5!!

5 total days
