To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $38 and an additional fee of $5.80 per hour. The history club wants to spend less $84.40 than on renting the meeting room.

Question

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

38+5.8H < 84.4

5.8H < 84.4-38 = 46.4

5.8H < 46.4

H < 46.4/5.8

H < 8 hours
