Question

to rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $18 and an additional fee of $6 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend at most $72 on renting the room. what are the possible numbers of hours the cemetery club could rent the meeting room? use t for the number of hours. write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer 1

t ≤ 9 hours

Explanation:

Reservation fee = $18

Additional fee per hour = $6

Let x = number of hours

At most in inequality means ≤ less than or equal to

The inequality is

18 + 6t ≤ 72

6t ≤ 72 - 18

6t ≤ 54

t ≤ 54/6

t ≤ 9 hours
