Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $16 and an additional fee of $6 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend less than $82 on renting the room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room?

Answer 1

C=6h+16 (h-hours rented)
82=6h+16 (minus 16 from both sides)
6h=66 (divide both sides by 6)
h=11
Therefore they can hire it from 11 hours

Answer 2

10 hours

Explanation:

For about 10 hours.

6 times 10 = 60

60+16= 76
