Question 1012201
.
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 < {{{53.10/5.9}}} = 9 hours.
