To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $31 and an additional fee of $5.90 per hour.
The chemistry club wants to spend less than $84.10 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 t.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Your inequality is

31 + 5.9*t < 84.10.

To solve it, collect the constant terms on the right side:

5.9*t < 84.10 - 31 = 53.10,

Hence, t < 53.10%2F5.9 = 9 hours.
