Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $39 and an additional fee of $5.80 per hour. The film club wants to spend at most $73.80 on renting the meeting room.

What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room?
Use t for the number of hours the meeting room is rented, and solve your inequality for t.

Answer 1

The inequality is x less than or equal to 6. So the amount of hours they can rent it is 6 hours or less.

Explanation:

5.80x + 39 <_ 73.80 ----> subtract 39 on both side to get ---> 5.80x <_ 73.80 -----> then divide by 5.80 on both sides to get ---> x <_ 6.

Hope this helped!
