Question

Tyra's family is spending the afternoon in Millersville. They plan to see a movie and

then explore the town. The movie will cost the family $36, and parking costs $4 per
hour.
How long will the family be able to spend in Millersville if they want to spend less
than $60 and they don't have any other expenses?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the family spent 'x' hours in the town.

Parking cost for 'x'hours = 4*x = 4x

Now the total amount = Cost of the movie ticket + parking cost

= 36 + 4x

Total cost should be less than $ 60

36 + 4x < 60

Subtract 36 from both sides

4x < 60 - 36

4x < 24

Divide both sides by 4

x < 24/4

x < 6

The family can spend less than 6 hours in the town.
