Answer 1

They must rent for less than 7 hours

Explanation:

The charge for the room is the fee plus the hourly rate times the hour

f = 33+9.80t

This must be less than 101.60

101.60> 33+9.80t

Subtract 33 from each side

101.60-33> 33-33+9.80t

68.6> 9.80t

Divide each side by 9.8

68.8/9.8 > t

7>t

They must rent for less than 7 hours
