Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $18 and an additional fee $5 of per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend at most %58 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

You need the minimum cost for renting the meeting room given the following info

Reservation Fee = $18

Hourly Rate = $5

The renter wants to keep the cost below $58

So the cost will vary with the time, t you use the inequality below

5t + 18 ≤ 58

You can solve this to get that minimum

You can check you answer by graphing it.

I hope this helps!<3
