Let's denote the number of hours Amanda rented the bike as "h".
According to the information given, Amanda paid $2 per hour, meaning she paid a total of 2h for the hourly rate.
She also paid a $10 fee. Adding these two amounts together, we can set up the following inequality:
2h + 10 < 27
Subtracting 10 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
2h < 17
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2, we get:
h < 8.5
Since the number of hours must be a whole number, the maximum number of hours Amanda rented the bike is 8.
