Answer:

7hours max

Explanation:

let the total charges be y

and the number of hours be t

the total cost can be modelled linearly as

y=mt+c

given that

c=$41

m=$8.30

Therefore for y=99.10, we want to solve for t

99.1=8.3t+41

solve for t

99.1-41=8.3t

58.1=8.3t

t=58.1/8.3

t=7

therefore the time is 7hours max
