Question 110796: OK I have another question that I know I found the answer to but did it the LONG way. Here it is:
A tennis club offers two payment options:
Option1: $35 monthly fee plus $4/hour for court rental
Option 2: No monthly fee but $6.50/hour for court rental.
Let x = hours per month of court rental time.
a) Write a mathematical model representing the total monthly cost, C, in terms of x for the following:
Option 1: C=_________________
Option 2: C=_________________
b) How many hours would you have to rent the court so that the monthly cost of option 1, is less than option 2. Set up an inequality and show your work algebraically using the information in part a.
Answer:
Show your work here:
Now I came up with 15 hours, option a= $95 and option b=$97.50, 14 hours would be equal at $91. The problem is if I showed my work it would take up an entire 2 pages. LOL Thank you for any help you can give me.
