Joshua will be going mountain biking and is required to have a helmet when riding. He can buy a bike for $300 or he can rent a bike for $25 an hour. In both cases, he must rent a helmet for $5 an hour. Which inequality shows the number of hours Joshua must bike for the cost of buying a bike to be less than renting a bike.
