Question

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $36 and an additional fee of $5.60 per hour. The film club wants to spend at most $58.40

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 1.

Answer 1

t≤4

Explanation:

58.40≥36+5.60t

Solve like any equation

58.40≥36+5.60t subtract 36 from both sides

22.40≥5.60t divide by 5.60

t≤4
