Question 1128347

A family decides to rent a boat for the day while on vacation. The boat's rental rate is $500 for the first two hours and $50 for each additional half hour. Suppose the family can spend $700 for the boat. What inequality represents the number of hours for which they can rent the boat?
<pre>With H being the number of hours > 2, we get: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, 500 + 2(50)(H - 2) <= 700, or, 500 + 100(H - 2) <= 700))}}}
Solving this inequality will give you: {{{highlight_green(H <= 4)}}}.
This means that with a budget of $700, the family can rent the boat for NO MORE THAN 4 hours.
