to rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $38 and an additional fee of $8.80 per hour. The math club wants to spend less than $73.20 on renting the meeting room answers

Question

What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room

Answer 1

73.20 > 38 + 8.8H

73.20-38 > 8.8H

35.20 > 8.8H

8.8H < 35.20

H < 35.20/8.8

H < 4 hours

if they rented for 4 hours they'd spend the entire $73.20

38+4(8.8) = 38+35.2 = 73.2

IF they wanted to spend less than $73.20, they'd rent for only 3 hours
