Answer 1

Let's start by finding how much it will cost for Cindy to rent the photo booth for the first two hours. This is given as a flat fee of $500.

Now let's determine how much it will cost Cindy for each additional hour beyond the first two. This is given as $50 per hour.

Cindy doesn't want to spend more than $700, so let's create an equation to represent this information:

$500 + ($50 * additional hours) ≤ $700

We can simplify this equation by subtracting $500 from both sides:

($50 * additional hours) ≤ $200

Now let's divide both sides by $50 to solve for additional hours:

additional hours ≤ 4

Since additional hours must be a whole number, the maximum number of additional hours Cindy can rent the photo booth for is 4.
