To rent a certain banquet hall, there is a reservation fee of $4200.00 and an additional fee of $180.00 per hour. The Russell family wants to spend at most $5100.00 on renting the hall.
What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the hall? Use t for the number of hours the hall is rented, and solve your inequality for t.
.
Let t = number of hours hall is rented
then
180t + 4200 <= 5100
.
Solving for t:
180t <= 900
t <= 5 hours
.
that is, "t is less than or equal to 5 hours"
