Pls help! Due today :,)

The student council wants to rent a ballroom for the junior prom. The ballroom's rental rate is 1500 for 3 h and $125 for each additional half-hour. Suppose the student council raises $2125. What is the maximum number of hours for which they can rent the ballroom?

1500 + 5 × 125 = $ 2125

3h + 5 × 1/2 h =

3h + 2.5 h = 5.5 h

Thus they can rent the ballroom for 5.5 hours .
