The total cost to rent the room for t hours is given by the equation:
Cost(t) = 14 + 6t
To find the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room, we need to find values of t that make the total cost less than $80.
Therefore, we solve the inequality:
14 + 6t < 80
Subtracting 14 from both sides and simplifying, we have:
6t < 66
Dividing both sides by 6, we get:
t < 11
The possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room are any whole number less than 11.
To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $14 and an additional fee of $6 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend less than $80 on renting the room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room?
Use t for the number of hours.
