Question

Nicole wants to rent a boat and spend less than $33. The boat costs $6 per hour , and Nicole has a discount coupon for $9 off. What is the answer in inequality

Answer 1

Answer: Nicole can spend up to 7 hours in the boat.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the possible number of hours that can be used will be calculated as thus:

(6 × t) - 9 ≤ 33

6t - 9 ≤ 33

Collect like terms

6t ≤ 33 + 9

6t ≤ 42

Divide both side by the coefficient of t

6t/6 ≤ 42/6

t ≤ 7

Nicole can spend up to 7 hours in the boat.
