You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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= 35 + 4x
Option 2: C= 6.50x
b) How many hours would you have to rent the court so that the monthly cost of option 1, is less than option 2.
INEQUALITY:
35+4x < 6.50x
2.5x > 35
x > 14 hours
